Cyprus Deputy Minister Projects Strong Rebound of French Tourists in 2027 Due to Improved Air Connectivity
Cyprus’s Deputy Minister of Tourism, Kostas Koumis, expects a significant increase in visitors from France next year, driven by improved air connectivity, following a downturn in 2026 caused by geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Koumis led the Cypriot delegation at the International and French Travel Market (IFTM) exhibition in Paris, where he held discussions with senior tour operators about the French tourism market's recent performance and future prospects.
During the talks, efforts to upgrade Cyprus’s tourism offerings tailored to French visitors and promotional strategies were emphasized. Koumis highlighted the importance of the French market for Cyprus, noting its recent re-emergence and its potential for further growth. The ministry is focused on ensuring excellent hospitality to accommodate the anticipated influx.
Koumis also met with his French and Egyptian counterparts, reinforcing tourism ties and exploring cooperation opportunities. The IFTM Top Resa fair, one of the world’s largest travel trade events, provided a platform for these important industry discussions, leaving the Cypriot delegation optimistic about the market’s recovery and growth.
