Cyprus leisure centers report over 80% occupancy in September

In September 2026, leisure and entertainment centers across Cyprus maintained an occupancy rate exceeding 80%, according to Phytos Thrasyvoulou, president of the Pancyprian Association of Entertainment Centers (OSIKA). This performance surpassed earlier industry projections, which had anticipated a difficult year for the catering and hospitality sector. Industry leaders expressed satisfaction with these results, noting that while August was primarily supported by local Cypriot patronage, September continued to attract significant activity even following the peak summer tourism season.

This stability has allowed many businesses to remain operational and meet their financial obligations despite the initial economic uncertainty. The recovery trend observed in recent months has fostered cautious optimism within the industry regarding a potential return to normal activity levels. Looking forward, the sector expects to maintain momentum through October, with operators already reporting a steady flow of last-minute bookings as the autumn season progresses.
