Hermes Airports aims to boost year-round tourism in Cyprus by diversifying attractions and enhancing connectivity
Hermes Airports is intensifying efforts to reduce Cyprus' dependence on peak-season tourism by collaborating with airlines and tourism operators to attract passengers beyond the traditional summer months. At the Tourism Seasonality Summit in Rimini, Italy, the airport operator highlighted strategies to extend the travel season and strengthen year-round air connectivity.
The initiative focuses on diversifying Cyprus’ tourism offering beyond its typical sun-and-sea appeal. This includes promoting inland and rural tourism, gastronomy, sporting events, and conference tourism to draw visitors during shoulder and winter seasons. According to data shared at the summit, winter traffic now represents more than 25% of the island’s total passenger numbers, signaling progress toward a more balanced tourism market.
The summit also discussed the role of artificial intelligence in analyzing travel data to identify emerging niche markets and help airlines and airports quickly adapt their services. Hermes Airports emphasizes that while technology aids in this shift, creating authentic travel experiences and fostering strong cooperation among industry stakeholders remain key to sustaining year-round tourism and connectivity in Cyprus.
