Speaking during a trading update from Thomas Cook Group for the three months to June 30, chief executive Peter Fankhauser said Turkey was the “standout” destination across its source markets.
“Our bookings are well ahead of last year, up 11% across the group fuelled by strong growth to eastern med and North Africa,” he said.
“Turkey is the standout destination, doing very well in all markets.
“In the UK there has been 63% growth in holiday bookings to Turkey – so much so that Antalya has overtaken Palma as our top destination airport this year.”
