Hermes Airports promotes strategies to extend Cyprus tourism season

Hermes Airports is intensifying efforts to reduce Cyprus' dependence on peak-season tourism by expanding connectivity throughout the year. Representing the country at the recent Tourism Seasonality Summit in Rimini, Italy, the operator emphasized that shifting away from the traditional sun-and-sea model is essential. The strategy involves promoting inland and rural tourism, gastronomy, sporting events, and conference travel to maintain steady demand during the shoulder months.

In addition to these seasonal goals, Hermes Airports marked World Tourism Day, celebrated on September 27, by highlighting the resilience of the tourism sector amid recent international challenges. The company noted that the strategic roles of Larnaca and Paphos airports, combined with infrastructure upgrades and digital innovation, are vital for maintaining Cyprus' competitiveness. These investments in air connectivity and service quality are intended to secure the industry's sustainable growth and position the country as a consistent destination for both leisure and business travelers.

The ongoing transition reflects a collective effort involving the government and industry stakeholders. Moving forward, the focus remains on reinforcing international air links and enhancing the overall visitor experience to ensure long-term economic stability.
