Cyprus tourism status addressed at PASYXE annual general assembly

During the 90th anniversary general assembly of the Cyprus Hoteliers Association (PASYXE), President Nikos Christodoulides addressed the current state of the nation's tourism sector. Despite challenges posed by the Middle East crisis, the President stated that losses in flight bookings and tourist packages remain manageable. The government aims to extend the tourist season through November to compensate for earlier declines. Christodoulides noted that while 2026 began with the momentum of record-breaking 2025, geopolitical instability has negatively impacted operations. The government has prioritized maintaining aviation connectivity and promoting Cyprus as a safe destination. The President urged hoteliers to utilize existing state support measures, noting that application rates have been limited so far. Other speakers at the event included Archbishop George and outgoing PASYXE President Thanos Michaelides.
