[01] CTO: Tourist arrivals down 6.6% compared to last year
Cyprus' tourist industry is recording a loss this season of 6.6% in
comparison to last year, Cyprus Tourism Organisation (CTO) Chairman
Alecos Orountiotis has told CNA.
Arrivals from Germany are down by more than 30%, from the UK by 9%
whereas the Russian market seems to be doing well and has recorded an
increase of 20% since 2012.
In an interview with CNA, Orountiotis said that the situation and
programming has changed a great deal since the Eurogroup decision of
last March and although the CTO was hoping that 2013 would be a good
year for the island's tourist industry, things went off track.
