The Deputy Ministry of Tourism is revising tourist arrivals downwards for this year, as the continuing coronavirus pandemic and the epidemiological data in major tourist markets are leaving Cyprus out of their destinations, Deputy Minister of Tourism Savvas Perdios told CNA. Perdios said the revision of the goal to attract 25% of last year’s arrivals is expected towards the end of the week, as the Deputy Ministry was continuing its contacts with travel organizers in order to have a clear picture for the rest of the Summer and the first months of Autumn. Main markets, such as Britain, Russia, Israel, and Sweden, which constituted 64% of total tourist arrivals in 2019, are out of the game due to the pandemic, and the Deputy Ministry is now focusing on other countries, such as Belgium, France, and The Netherlands.
