The occupancy rate of hotels in the coastal and mountainous areas of Cyprus ranges from 90% to 100% this week. The week we are going through is considered the main week of the summer holidays of the Cypriots, due to the celebration of the XNUMXth of August.
Both this week and next, many public and private employees are on leave and combined with the high tourist arrivals each August, the hotels are almost overcrowded. However, the data show that the first choice of both Cypriots and foreign tourists are the coastal areas of the free area of Famagusta.
According to the booking platform for booking tourist accommodation "Booking", from 13 to 18 August, the occupancy of hotels is as follows:
- Protaras 99%,
- Ayia Napa 98%
- Paphos 97%
- Larnaca 94%
- Limassol 87%
- Nicosia 79%.
The occupancy of hotels in the mountain resorts of Cyprus is high. One of the main reasons for the occupancy of hotels in these areas is the implementation of the holiday subsidy plan for retirees and low-income citizens by the Ministry of Labor.
The plan subsidizes the accommodation and food of the beneficiaries and their dependents in hotels and accommodation of mountain resorts until the end of the month. According to the data cited by the hotel accommodation reservation platform, the occupancy of hotels in Platres this week reaches 95%, in Troodos 97% and in Pedoulas 90%.
