Visitors from Germany have new favorite hotels in Greece but are mainly staying loyal to top resorts in Turkey and Spain, according to the latest fortnightly fvw Hotelometer.
The Lindos Princess Beach (Lardos) advanced six places to take top spot in the Greece ranking, while the Mitsis Norida Beach (Kardamena) leapt from tenth to second place in the fortnight from August 24 to September 9.
Places three to five were occupied by the Ikaros Beach, the Atrium Palace and the Vantaris Beach while for families, the Lindos Princess Beach, the Lyttos Beach and the Mitsis Norida Beach were the top three in the Greece ranking.
Most popular with couples
The Vantaris Beach, the Atrium Palace and the Ikaros Beach received the most enquiries from couples.
In neighboring Turkey, there was also a new overall number one, the Delphin Imperial, ahead of the Royal Dragon and the Aydinbey Kings Palace but, otherwise, there was relatively little movement in the top ten.
Most family enquiries were targeted at the Belek Beach Resort, the Delphin Imperial and the Royal Dragon while the couples listing was topped by the Aydinbey Kings Palace, the Delphin Imperial and the Royal Dragon.
Restricted volatility in Spain
In Spain, volatility was even more restricted since only the Lopesan Costa Meloneras regained top spot, ahead of the Blau Punta Reina Resort and the Sotavento Beach Club. For families, the Sotavento Beach Club, the Blau Punta Reina Resort and the Protur Floriana Park emerged again as the top three. Couples were mostly attracted by Lopesan Costa Meloneras, the SBH Costa Calma Palace and the IFA Buenaventura.
The fvw Hotelometer is a fortnightly recording of the most popular tourist hotels in Spain, Turkey and Greece, based on all enquiries in the Traveltainment reservations system preferred by German travel agents and online booking engines. The data, supplied by IT company TrevoTrend and split into different categories (overall, families, couples, singles and star ratings), consequently reflect demand trends but do not represent actual bookings.
