CYPRUS TOURISM RECOVERY PICKS UP MOMENTUM WITH STRONGEST SEPTEMBER ON RECORD

CYPRUS TOURISM RECOVERY PICKS UP MOMENTUM WITH STRONGEST SEPTEMBER ON RECORD - Cy Mail 19/10 by Souzana Psara


Tourism sector bounces back from geopolitical disruption, Koumis says

Cyprus recorded its strongest September for tourist arrivals on record, with visitor numbers rising by 1.8 per cent year-on-year as increased arrivals from Israel, Britain and Greece helped offset steep declines across several European markets.

A total of 580,889 tourists visited the island during the month, compared with 570,635 in September 2025, according to figures released on Monday by the Cyprus Statistical Service (Cystat).

The increase marked a return to growth after arrivals fell by 3.3 per cent in August, while Deputy Tourism Minister Kostas Koumis described the September performance as evidence of the sector’s recovery following the disruption caused by geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

POLICE WARN OF AI DEEPFAKE SCAMS AS RELATIVES, FRIENDS IMPERSONATED

POLICE WARN OF AI DEEPFAKE SCAMS AS RELATIVES, FRIENDS IMPERSONATED - Cy Mail 19/10 by Dina Husseini

Police on Monday cautioned about increasingly sophisticated online scams where criminals use artificial intelligence to mimic the faces and voices of loved ones and colleagues.

The warning is part of an Interpol campaign aimed at raising awareness of how deepfake technology can trick victims into transferring money or disclosing sensitive information.

Deepfakes are artificially generated or altered images, videos and audio recordings that can make it appear as though a real person is speaking or acting.
