Kostas Koumis: Signs of Recovery in Tourism Bookings After Geopolitical Pressures

Deputy Minister of Tourism, Kostas Koumis, stated that a trend of recovery is being observed in tourism bookings after the slowdown caused by geopolitical developments. The government moved quickly to protect the safety and image of Cyprus as a safe destination, emphasizing that the country is far from the war. Participation in the ITB tourism exhibition in Berlin was crucial to convey the message of safety to strategic partners. The government has taken measures to support employment in the hotel sector and air connectivity, while intensifying promotion and advertising efforts. The new President of PASYDIXE, Nikolaos Aristou, has prioritized upgrading quality, investing in human capital and promoting sustainability.
