Holiday homes refer to the places that are used on holidays and leisure times and are usually located out of the users’ residence. In this regard, foreign tourists are considered as the main part of holiday home markets in different countries of the world including Cyprus.

The results of the study showed that all elements of tourism marketing mix including product, price, promotion, place, physical environment, process and people have had a significant and positive impact on the tourists’ decisions to buy holiday home in Cyprus.
