TUI says that demand for Greece among its clients remains strong and that the first quarter of 2024 is already 30% higher than the same period of 2023.
The CEO Sebastian Ebel, announced the figures on Thursday while in Greece for an event on the Rhodes Co-lab, a sustainable tourism initiative of the South Aegean Region, TUI Group and the TUI Care Foundation.
Ebel projects that overall he sees TUI bringing 10% more tourists to Greece than in 2023.
He explained that, although prices continue to rise in Greece, the country continues to attract tourists because the level and quality of services continues to rise.
TUI executives noted that the company has not seen the same growth rates in other destinations like Egypt and Cyprus, and rates in Turkey have slowed and attract tourists with a different profile.
