POLITICAL MAPS OF CYPRUS :

DEMOGRAPHY : • The people of Cyprus are broadly divided into two main ethnic
communities, Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots, who share
many cultural traits but maintain distinct identities based on
ethnicity, religion, language, and close ties with Greece and
Turkey respectively. Before the dispute started in 1964 the
peoples of Cyprus (then 77.1% Greeks, 18.2% Turks, <5% other
communities, primarily Armenians and Maronites) were
dispersed over the entire island.

• The Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974 de facto partitioned the
island into two political areas: 99.5% of Greek Cypriots now live
in the Republic of Cyprus while 98.7% of Turkish Cypriots live in
Northern Cyprus (of other nationalities, 99.2% live in the Greek
Cypriot area in the south). Greek is predominantly spoken in
the South, where the majority are Greek Cypriots, and Turkish
in the north, where the majority are Turkish Cypriots. English is
widely used throughout the island, as a common language.

• The total population of Cyprus as of the end of 2006 is slightly
over 1 million, comprising 789,300 in the territory controlled by
the government of the Republic of Cyprus and 294,406 in
Northern Cyprus. The population of Northern Cyprus has
increased following the immigration of 150,000–160,000
Turkish mainlanders, which the UN considers to have arrived
illegally.On this basis, the Republic of Cyprus government does
not include this group in the population statistics of the
Republic of Cyprus Statistical Service.

POPULATION DENSITY :

• The current population of Republic of Cyprus is 1,224,304 as of Wednesday,
June 8, 2022, based on Worldometer elaboration of the latest United Nations
data.

• Cyprus 2020 population is estimated at 1,207,359 people at mid year
according to UN data.

• Cyprus population is equivalent to 0.02% of the total world population.
• Cyprus ranks number 158 in the list of countries (and dependencies) by

population.
• The population density in Cyprus is 131 per Km2 (338 people per mi2).
• The total land area is 9,240 Km2 (3,568 sq. miles)
• 66.8 % of the population is urban (806,754 people in 2020)
• The median age in Cyprus is 37.3 years.



ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES THAT EFFECT
TOURISM :

Tourism in Cyprus has been hard hit by the
Covid-19 shock, among the most severe in
Europe. Tourist arrivals experienced an
unprecedented collapse since the pandemic.
In 2020, tourist arrivals decreased by 84
percent, while tourism revenue decreased
by 85 percent, compared to 2019. Travel
restrictions led to a significant decrease in
tourist demand from the major markets
such as the United Kingdom (UK) and Russia.
While travel restrictions were lifted in early
June for arrivals from a limited number of
countries, Cyprus still experienced the most
severe decline of tourist arrivals for the year
when compared with other European
countries.

CULTURE OF CYPRUS :

• Loss of authenticity / staged authenticity
