On the occasion of World Tourism Day 2025, DP World Limassol reaffirmed its dedication to harnessing tourism’s transformative power for Cyprus’ economy, culture, and environment.
Celebrated on 27 September, this year’s theme, 'Tourism and Sustainable Transformation', highlights tourism’s transformative potential as an agent of positive change.
As a cornerstone of the island’s prosperity, tourism drives growth and global connectivity, and DP World Limassol, as the operator of the island’s main cruise terminal, is committed to advancing this vital sector through sustainable innovation.
In 2025, Cyprus is expected to welcome over four million visitors, with cruise tourism alone generating significant revenue for the local economy.
Cruise tourism is a proven economic multiplier, with each visiting passenger spending on average between €70–€100 during their short stay, contributing directly to local businesses like excursion organisers, restaurants, shops, and transport.
This translates into tens of millions of euros in local economic benefit, while also showcasing Cyprus’ culture, gastronomy, and heritage to global visitors.
Simon Pitout, CEO of DP World Limassol, said, “Tourism is more than an economic driver for Cyprus—it’s a celebration of the island’s unique character and a bridge to the world. On World Tourism Day, we renew our pledge to foster sustainable tourism that uplifts communities, preserves our environment, and delivers unforgettable experiences. DP World Limassol is proud to be part of this transformation.”
