German summer reservations to Egypt up in 2017

CAIRO – 9 July 2017: German summer reservations to Egypt have increased in 2017, according to FVW.

The latest trend surveys by the German Travel Association (DRV) and the internet travel retail association VIR (Verband Internet Reisevertrieb) at the start of the summer holidays across most of Germany confirm recent comments by tour operators about sales trends as well as destination airport booking figures over the last few months.

“Mediterranean countries remain the top holiday destinations for Germans,” declared DRV president Norbert Fiebig.

Many Germans have booked their summer holidays much earlier than usual this year to secure their preferred destinations and profit from attractive early booking discounts, he pointed out.

Morocco, Tunisia and Egypt are all making comebacks, with the latter showing the highest increase in bookings.

Spain, and Majorca in particular, is the clear number one foreign destination, while Greece, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus and Malta also all have good growth, according to market researchers GfK.
