Akis Vavlitis, president of the Association of Cyprus Tourist Enterprises (Stek), and Christos Angelides, director general of the Cyprus Hoteliers Association (Pasyxe), spoke separately to the agency about the outlook for the remainder of the season. However, he acknowledged that concerns linked to developments in the Middle East have not disappeared, particularly because of Cyprus’ proximity to the region. “We are optimistically awaiting 2027,” Vavlitis noted, adding that the objective “is to reach the occupancy and revenue levels of 2025”. At the same time, Angelides called for Cyprus’ promotion for 2027 to begin immediately, particularly in key European markets. “It is very important to intensify efforts to promote and advertise Cyprus from now until the end of 2027,” he stressed.
