On Wednesday night, widespread 30-minute rolling power outages occurred across Cyprus, causing significant operational disruptions for various hotel units. The electricity supply failure was attributed to an inability of the national system to meet an surge in demand driven by extreme heat.

The Association of Cyprus Tourist Enterprises (Stek) formally expressed its strong concern and dissatisfaction regarding the incident. The association labeled the situation as unacceptable, noting that such infrastructure failures are inconsistent with the country’s profile as a modern European tourist destination. Stek highlighted that the disruptions negatively impacted the guest experience and undermined the sector’s long-term efforts to maintain high service quality and international competitiveness.

While the industry has voiced its frustration, there have been no further updates regarding immediate government measures or infrastructure upgrades to prevent future incidents. The association continues to emphasize the necessity of reliable energy for sustaining the island's tourism sector.
