The Iran conflict is causing a rise in tourist cancellations and a dive in new bookings in Cyprus and to a lesser extent other countries whose economies rely heavily on summer visitors.
Reuters – The U.S. and Israel launched attacks
on Iran on February 28, just as Cyprus's tourism industry was reopening after
winter. Then on March 2, as Iran launched a series of counter-strikes, a drone
struck a British naval base on the island, triggering a wave of tourist
cancellations.
The drop in bookings is the latest sign of the war’s
broad fallout, from disrupted oil flows to mass flight cancellations and
worsening economic outlooks worldwide.
