“Unprecedented” is how TUI from Germany describes the demand for vacations in autumn, adding two Greek islands to the top destinations for September.

TUI has planned 50 flights a week for Greece with 450,000 seats for the next two months of July-August. Overall, TUI sees a strong increase in sales in Germany for many destinations in the south of Europe, from customers who seem ready to spend significantly more on their summer holidays this year, says Marek Andryszak, CEO of the company in Germany.

TUI holiday operator hopes to bring more German tourists to Cyprus next year, starting in the summer of 2019 while boosting efforts to make the island an all-year-round destination.
