Cyprus tourism sector calls for calm as US advisory triggers booking slump

Cyprus hoteliers have reported cancellations for April and May and a slowdown in new bookings for the coming months, following the US travel advisory for the island, while industry groups are urging calm and closer coordination with the government.

The Association of Cyprus Tourism Enterprises (Stek) said that “several cancellations of reservations” have already been recorded for April and May, while new reservations for the rest of the period have dropped sharply, raising concerns across the sector.
