Revenue from tourism in Cyprus in the first eight months of 2020 fell by 1.62 billion euros compared to the same period in 2019 – the fault of the restrictive measures to combat the Coronavirus pandemic.

For the period from January to August 2020, revenues from tourism are estimated at 235.6 million euros – compared with 1.859 billion euros for the same period in 2019. The difference is 87.3 percent.

A survey of travellers, conducted by the Statistics Service of Cyprus, showed: in August 2020, revenues from tourism reached 71.1 million euros – compared with 431.6 million a year earlier, a decrease of 83.5%.
