AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoBlue Flag update: Cyprus’ 2026 Blue Flag tally drops to 56 (from 64 last year) as some Amathus and Limassol municipalities didn’t reapply after pollution reports during last summer’s bathing season, while two marinas also earned certification. Tourism demand check: Cyprus hotel bookings are improving slowly but still lag expectations for May, with the Cyprus Hoteliers Association urging close monitoring for a late lift heading into July and August, including hopes for continued momentum from the Israeli market. Ebola readiness: An epidemiologist says Cyprus has protocols ready for any imported Ebola case, with the focus on rapid isolation and strict biosecurity plus screening of travellers from affected areas. Border rules for travellers: The EU’s Entry/Exit System (EES) is causing departure delays for some UK-bound holidaymakers, and Cyprus (outside Schengen) is not covered by EES—so routing and timing could matter for summer plans. Travel inspiration: A cycling feature spotlights Japan’s Shimanami Kaido as a scenic, food-filled ride—an idea for travellers looking beyond the Mediterranean.
