Cyprus tourism and fiscal trends

Overview

Economic data from Cyprus indicates a complex situation in its tourism sector. While visitor arrivals declined by 1.7 per cent in June 2026, tourism revenue rose by 0.2 per cent to €423.1 million, driven by a 2 per cent increase in average expenditure per tourist. Despite this monthly rise, total tourism revenue for the first half of 2026 decreased by 11.4 per cent compared to the previous year.

On a broader fiscal level, Cyprus reported a government fiscal surplus of €770.6 million for the first seven months of 2026, amounting to 2 per cent of GDP. This was supported by a 4.1 per cent increase in total government revenue, which reached €8.91 billion, bolstered by a 7.7 per cent rise in taxes on income and wealth.
