The US-Iran war and events in the Middle East, together with the drone attacks on British bases in Cyprus, have sent the country’s tourism revenues into free fall compared with 2025.

Cyprus’s Statistical Service has released the final figures for April 2026, showing a 35.1% drop in revenues compared with the same month in 2025, when there was no conflict or turmoil in the Middle East.

According to the results of the Travellers Survey, tourism revenues in April 2026 amounted to €197.5 million, a decrease of 35.1% compared with the corresponding month of the previous year (€304.2 million).
