According to Rewe, there is a 30% increase in guaranteed seats on airplane bookings for the summer of 2018, while TUI has registered a 20 pct increase in the same.
Αcoording to AMNA, Greece was the top destination for Tui Austria clients this summer, bringing the company a 25 pct increase in turnover from Greece, compared to 2016 figures.
Both tour organisations noted that terrorism threats and natural catastrophes did not prevent Austrians from travel abroad, but that Austrians continue to avoid Turkey and show preference for Greece and Spain.
TUI will offer 360 flights to destinations abroad in the summer of 2018, an increase of 6 pct over last summer – of these, 103 are to Greece.
In terms of arrivals to the country, Austria has the highest arrival ratio in terms of population to tourists to Greece – 400,000 Austrians travel to Greece on average every year, from a population of 8.7 million.
