Methodological information
Definitions
Tourists - Visitors who stay at least one night in Cyprus.
Tourist arrivals - The term refers to the number of visits and not to the number of persons. This differs in the sense that a person may make more than one visit in the given reference period.
Data source and coverage
Data for January 2022 were obtained by processing data from the online platform "Cyprus Flight Pass". Passengers wishing to travel to Cyprus were required to enter into this electronic platform various information regarding their flight, their country of residence, the purpose of their visit, as well as other demographic data. These data were used by the Statistical Office to estimate the number of tourists arriving during the reference period. The extrapolation of the data was based on data sent to the Statistical Service by the Civil Aviation Department and from the ship passenger lists, as well as data sent by the Analysis and Statistics Bureau of the Cyprus Police.
Due to problems arising from the completion of the data by the passengers themselves, it was not possible to further analyse the data by country of usual residence.
