**Paphos Set to Welcome More Central European Tourists in 2024**
The picturesque coastal city of Paphos is poised to see an uptick in tourist arrivals from Central Europe in 2024, building on the robust growth experienced in recent years. Early figures from the year indicate that the trend of increasing visitors from nations such as Poland, Hungary, Austria, France, and Italy is set to continue, bringing a wave of economic benefits to the region.
This surge in tourism growth can be credited to a confluence of strategic initiatives and natural advantages. Ryanair, the renowned low-cost airline, has played a pivotal role by expanding its flight offerings between Paphos and several Central European hubs. The airline’s commitment to providing affordable travel options has made the Cypriot city an accessible getaway for many.
Moreover, Paphos has successfully positioned itself as an alluring year-round destination. Its mild climate serves as a perennial invitation to tourists seeking to escape colder weather, while its rich tapestry of cultural and natural attractions caters to a wide array of interests.
The Paphos Tourism Board has not rested on the city’s laurels, actively promoting its charms to Central European markets. Their efforts have borne fruit, as evidenced by the over 120,000 Polish tourists who graced Paphos with their presence in 2023. With Ryanair now operating at least 14 flights per week from six Polish airports, these numbers are only expected to climb.
The continued rise in tourism from Central Europe is a testament to the allure of Paphos and the strategic efforts to make it a premier destination. As more travelers discover its unique blend of beauty, history, and hospitality, Paphos is set to solidify its position on the tourism map for years to come.
