The head of German travel company FTI Touristik, Dietmar Gunz, announced that bookings to Greece remain steady, compared to 2014, a great year for tourism.

In a presentation of its winter programme in Munich last week, Gunz said the recent referendum in Greece will not affect package travel bookings to the country. “Holidaymakers are and will be enjoying a safe stay in Greece as flight, transfers and accommodation are assured by the tour operator. In the current summer season Greece has performed as well as last year looking at the booking numbers, which was a fantastic season,” he said.

More encouraging news comes from the International travel company TUI Group, which said on July 7 that Greek tourism is still strong and called on sector authorities and government officials to focus on maintaining the momentum and tapping into the needs of visitors to the country. The company added that the number of bookings to Greece were higher than last year, demonstrating that “Greece continues to be a very popular holiday destination”.
