The official data of the competent authorities of Cyprus and Poland now confirm the emergence of Pafos as the most popular tourist destination for the citizens of Poland.
According to official data, in 2023, arrivals of Polish tourists to Cyprus amounted to more than 273,500, recording an increase of 45% from the arrivals of 2022. Pafos gains a significant share every year since it is estimated that about 49% of Poles arriving in Cyprus reside in Paphos.
The air connection between Pafos and Poland is the best in the last 30 years and during the current summer season there will be up to 20 flights per week from six major Polish airports.
These important data are already being used by the institutions of Pafos in an effort to form the basis for the further development of tourism cooperation between the two countries. In this context, the Pafos Region Tourism Development and Promotion Company, implementing its action plan for 2024, participated in previous weeks in presentations in Warsaw, Krakow and Katowice.
This was an initiative of the Deputy Ministry of Tourism aimed at informing tour operators about the promotion of Pafos as a year-round tourist destination. According to ETAP, the Polish market has now become a priority market and in recent years arrivals mainly due to Ryanair flights to Paphos have increased significantly.
