This week Thomas Cook’s CEO, Alan French announced that Greece is not only selling well, but the sales currently make up 30% of their bookings for 2022.
Speaking to the press Mr French said “Currently 30 per cent of our bookings are for Greece, while bookings for some popular Greek islands, like Rhodes, are already seven times more than last year. Greece plays a huge role in global tourism, and for Thomas Cook holidaymakers, in particular, it is one of our most popular destinations. Greece is a fantastic country offering a wide range of holidays to suit all travellers throughout the year, so we expect its popularity to continue. We want to take full advantage of the many and varied airlines in Greece and types of accommodation to offer our customers choice and flexibility.”
Mr French also noted that bookings for Greece are high this week, even higher than Spain or Turkey, which has come off the back of Greece being the best-selling holiday destination in 2021 for Thomas Cook, and their top five Greek destinations are Rhodes, Crete, Corfu, Kos, and Santorini. After the loss of Thomas Cook a few years ago, it’s great to see the new formation of the company bouncing back, with positive news for both them and Greece.
