The full tourist come back of Greece is in sight – Excellent bookings for 2022

Data on bookings until mid-November and the first messages of bookings for 2022 from Great Britain show that the “full tourist come-back of the country is now in sight,”

This assessment is expressed by the honorary president of the Association of Greek Tourism Enterprises (SETE) and CEO of the Sani / IKos Group Andreas Andreadis while reiterating his forecast for revenues from tourism of 12 billion euros in 2021.

But the latest news is the first estimates for the 2022 bookings from Great Britain, which Mr. Andreadis says “they are excellent”

Mr. Andreadis with a tweet a while ago, made officials who measure revenue on a daily basis, smile even more, writing: “I estimate confirmation of the scenario for tourism revenue in 21 near 2/3 of 19 ( ~ 12 billion €) with an average revenue per visitor > 20% & revenues August-October as much as 19. The first bookings from England for 2022 excellent. The full tourist come-back of the country is now in sight.” It is a fact that, according to hotel pundit estimates, in most popular destinations in the country September ran with fullness from 70% to 80%, while in October although part of the hotel industry is preparing to close down around October 15 in the southern Aegean but also the Ionian, will welcome visitors from abroad until the end of the month, while some large tourist units will continue until mid-November.

October, as the data show, will draw satisfactory numbers, especially from the British and German markets, which will continue until the end of October, when most markets will close on October 15. There are hopes that the German and British markets will continue during the first ten days of November, says the vice president of the Hotelier’s Chamber Christina Tetradi, in imerazante.gr/

According to data from the recovery-tracker of the Institute of the Association of Greek Tourist Enterprises, in the first week of October 550 thousand seats are scheduled on incoming international flights, while in the week of October 11-17 another 516 thousand seats from abroad.

The main markets where tourists come from are Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, France and the Netherlands.
