Tunisia and Egypt tourism growing, says trip operator
Europe’s largest package trip operator Tui has said cash-strapped consumers are choosing more affordable destinations including Egypt, Tunisia and Bulgaria, according to The Guardian on December 11th.
Tui said inflationary pressures have eased, and the average selling price of its holidays have levelled out, although the cost of a trip remains at a “significantly higher level” in comparison with 2019. Prices are “at a level where we think it will remain”, said group CEO Sebastian Ebel.
“We also see quite often new customers who have less income but still want to travel, and they have a budget of €1,000/£800 per vacation, and if they don’t see it in Spain, then they look for alternatives, and they find alternatives,” Ebel added. “Mallorca will be full in summer, the Canary Islands are full now in winter. But there’s enough choice for customers to find the right vacation.”
