Tourism in Cyprus is off to a flying start in 2025, with January\u2019s revenue soaring to 69.2 million euros, a 53.1% jump compared to the same month last year, according to the latest figures from the Statistical Service\u2019s Traveler Survey.<\/p>\n

This is not only thanks to more tourists overall, up by 27.5%, but also to bigger spending, especially from Israel and the UK. These two countries led the way in January arrivals and opened their wallets wider than before.<\/p>\n

Israeli tourists made up the largest chunk of January\u2019s arrivals, accounting for 21.1% of all visitors. Their number more than doubled compared to last year, up 159%, and they didn\u2019t hold back on spending: On average, Israeli tourists spent \u20ac176.13 per day, up from \u20ac118.34 in January 2024, for a nearly 50% increase.<\/p>\n

The UK remains a key market, making up 16.7% of total arrivals this January. British visitors also increased in number (up 14.6%) and loosened the purse strings too, spending an average of \u20ac57.75 per day compared to \u20ac52.73 last January. Arrivals from Germany rose nearly 40%, while those from Poland, the third largest market in January, with 14.1% of all tourists, maintained a steady spending level of \u20ac70 per day.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
