The number of tourists visiting Cyprus will remain stable in 1995 compared with 1995, or may even increase slightly, according to the Cyprus Tourism Organisation (CTO). The number of British people visiting Cyprus has fallen to 900,000 in 1995, from 950,000 in 1994, but there has been a rise in arrivals from Germany, France and Russia. Despite this, the UK is still the most significant market for tourism in Cyprus.
