Where “luxury” Russian tourists will rest in Greece and how they will get to a country that has officially “fit in” with anti-Russian sanctions, tour operators for ATOR told. According to them, the demand for luxury holidays in Greece is stable and generally corresponds to the level of last year, while demand is expected to increase by May and summer months, and with the advent of new flights with short transfers, the number of bookings will increase.
“We hope for growth in the 2024 season due to an increase in flights from Yerevan, Tbilisi, Baku and the Middle East to Greece,” said, for example, the PAC Group. According to experts, tourists fly to Greece with transfers at airports in Turkey, Armenia and the Middle East. Therefore, on average, Russians book luxury hotels in Greece from 9 to 15 days, which is related to the logistics of air travel.
