The 2013 year is coming to an end, and the representatives of the Cyprus tourism industry are preparing to sum up the final results.

Despite the fact that the data for December can significantly affect the final results, the Cypriot tourism industry can safely uncork champagne: for the first ten months, the income from travelers amounted to 1.95 billion euros - that is by 30 million more than for the whole 2012 .If the planned trend continues, the total increase in revenue will reach 16.6% .The authorities of the island hope that the profits will allow partially to fill the budget holes associated with the loan of 10 billion EUR for the rescue of Cyprus from bankruptcy .

Recall that this year the Mediterranean island was visited by a record number of Russians: only in September, 108 thousand of our compatriots visited here (+40% to the similar last year index).
