Here are a few glimpses of an interview with our CEO and Secretary-General of the Union of Travel Agencies of the Dodecanese region, Mr. Tasos Chatziliamis, regarding this summer season:
“I see, this season will be a good one. I would emphasize that we move at the same and even better pace as in 2023.”
“The German market has gradually seen a drop in early bookings over the past three years, but despite all that, the island of Rhodes is at better levels than other destinations.”
…
“France, Poland, the Czech Republic, Romania, and also Scandinavian countries, they are all doing really well, and the demand grows steadily. In Italy, there is a monopoly by one tour operator who has most of the market, and so any increase could be covered by individual customers.”
…
“Prices are clearly increased, but not to the point of making the destination unattractive. In general, our prices are affordable in relation to the product we sell, and we aim that the increase is only reasonable.”
…
“The Union of Travel Agencies of the Dodecanese made a proposal for a 7-day visa for Turkish citizens, which is a success for our islands as that will increase the influx of customers from the neighboring country.”
…
“What should be improved is the road network. The ports of entry - we need to work on making our islands more attractive, sustainable, and better in terms of infrastructure.”
