Limassol hotels reach 90 per cent occupancy in August
Limassol hotels have reached around 90 per cent occupancy in August, matching 2025 levels as last-minute and domestic bookings increased.
Limassol, Cyprus. Hotels across Limassol city and district have reached around 90 per cent occupancy in August, matching booking levels recorded in August 2025. The increase was supported by last-minute reservations and stronger domestic demand.
Last-minute booking trend
The president of the Limassol branch of the Cyprus Hotel Association (Pasyxe), Christos Tsanos, said last-minute bookings had been the defining feature of this year’s tourism season.
“The key feature of this year is that of last-minute bookings, and the figures confirm what we said at the end of June,” Tsanos told the Cyprus News Agency.
“August is performing at the same booking levels as August 2025,” he added.
Domestic demand
Tsanos said bookings strengthened during the August 10-17 period, particularly because of increased demand from the domestic tourism market.
Earlier concerns
Limassol hoteliers had said in June that last-minute reservations could help reverse a deterioration in the tourism climate following the war in neighbouring Iran.
On June 23, Tsanos said the situation could improve after several countries revised their travel advisories. He also expected summer occupancy to be considerably better than initially forecast, while cautioning that “the three months do not save an entire year”.
The latest figures indicate that the summer peak performed more strongly than initially feared, with demand increasing as the summer progressed.
