Encouraging Hotel Bookings Ahead of Clean Monday

Hotel bookings for the Clean Monday three-day weekend are looking quite encouraging, according to PASYXE Director Christos Angelidis. The previous weekend showed satisfactory movement, enhanced by the good weather, and indications are also positive for the Clean Monday weekend, with several hotels offering special menus for the holiday. However, Mr. Angelidis stressed the need to extend the tourist season, as bookings so far for 2024 remain low (25%-30%). He mentioned the increase in flights from new markets such as Armenia, Romania, and Poland, as well as the stable flow from countries such as the United Kingdom and Israel, and the timid recovery from Germany. PASYXE emphasizes the importance of keeping hotels open and offering a variety of activities and events throughout the year in order to attract more tourists and support the economy. Coordinated efforts of all stakeholders are considered essential for the success of this strategy.
