The intense interest of travelers for Greece as a tourist destination for both the current and the next tourist season was highlighted during an event organized by TUI on Thursday, May 5th.
The object of the event was the preparation and the prospects for the tourist season of 2023, but also the data that are shaping up in the season that has just begun.
During the works of the event, TUI executives had the opportunity to inform hoteliers about the privileged position of Greek tourism in the preferences of travelers.
The high standards observed by Greek hotels during the two years of the pandemic and the faithful observance of the protocols in combination with the minimal cases, were crucial for this preference.
One hundred and seventy hoteliers from all over the country and Cyprus were informed by the top executives of TUI about the prospects that are opening up for this year’s tourist season from the main markets concerning Central and Western Europe, but also Scandinavia.
