Impact of earlier cancellations
According to data from US company AirDNA, daily cancellation rates for short-term rentals in Cyprus surged from around 15% before recent regional conflicts to 100% in the days immediately after. The figure has since fallen but remained near 45% until 21 March. Greece experienced a smaller increase in cancellations.
