The number of arrivals has been replenished by only one quarter.
The Cypriot authorities reported that after joining Western sanctions, the tourist flow of citizens from Russia has fallen sharply.
This has had a negative impact on the travel industry. Tourism Minister Savvas Perdios said the loss of 800,000 Russian tourists cannot be replenished overnight.
The situation is partially saved by the rapid reorientation of the Cypriot authorities to new market formats and the attraction of tourists from neighboring islands. In figures, this figure is not more than 200 thousand people.
Such a tourist picture is found not only in Cyprus, but also in other European resorts, which this year were left without Russian vacationers.
