It started easing it on May 4 and hotels will reopen on June 1.<br \/>Tourism accounts for about 13% of output. With five months of the season lost, Cyprus expects, at best, about 30% of last year\u2019s total of 3.98 million visitors.<br \/>\u201cThe hit is massive, and we are trying to do our best now and do what we can for the remainder of the season. We have worked extremely hard to keep the virus in check here,\u201d Deputy Tourism Minister Savvas Perdios said.<br \/>Cyprus has emerged relatively unscathed by the pandemic. It has reported less than 950 cases, and 17 deaths.<br \/>It will open on June 9 to travellers from countries including <strong>Germany<\/strong>, <strong>Greece <\/strong>and <strong>Israel.<\/strong> A group from mainly central Europe will be added on June 20, though Perdios said the list was being reviewed continuously.<br \/>\u201cFor our important markets like the UK, Russia and Sweden I expect in early July the situation (there) will allow their travel to Cyprus. I am quite optimistic about that,\u201d Perdios said. Britain and Russia alone represent 55% of arrivals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"block-time published-time\"> <time datetime=\"2020-05-27T13:02:39.532Z\">2.02pm <span class=\"timezone\">BST<\/span><\/time> <\/p>\n<p>Hi.
