Despite the increased inflation in England and the concerns about a recession in the British economy, the indications are that the tourist flow from our main market will not be particularly negatively affected next year. This emerges from the contacts that the Deputy Minister of Tourism Savvas Perdios had in the context of the World Travel Market tourism exhibition in London.
Speaking yesterday to the CNA from London, Mr. Perdios initially expressed satisfaction for this year's course of arrivals from the UK. "As far as '23 is concerned, it is definitely expected to be an equally difficult year, because we see that geopolitical instability and inflation continue. However, I have to say that there does not seem to be any concern from the UK market for 2023," he added. "Yes, there are price increases in general, but as far as the tourism part is concerned we have not heard anything worrying about 2023 from any tour operator, and we are evaluating this positively," he added.
In his statements, he also referred to the cooperation between Cyprus and Jordan that was formalized at a special event on Monday also in London, which aims to offer joint packages to foreign markets. In this context, he revealed that an organized visit to the US is imminent where he will also see airlines.
