The Cyprus Tourism Organisation (CTO) predicts that 2017 will be a record-breaking year with over 3% year-on-year increase in visitors recorded from January to March (3.6%).
The destination received 99,503 UK visitors from 1 January to 31 March 2017 – a 3.6% increase compared to the 96,009 UK visitors to Cyprus from the same period in 2016.
2017 is expected to be Cyprus’ biggest year yet for tourism, following 3.2 million arrivals in 2016.
The UK is the top market to Cyprus with more than 40% of total arrivals.
Mr Orestis Rossides, UK director of the Cyprus Tourism Organisation, said: “Visitor figures for 2017 are looking positive and this upward trend is only set to continue. Many travellers are already turning to Cyprus for its year-round sunshine, stunning landscapes, world-class spas and range of activities; and with Rooster’s help, we’ll be able to entice many more. The team has hit the ground running already and we’re looking forward to working closely with them on some exciting campaigns to further maximise awareness of, and bookings to, Cyprus.”
