Speaking at the launch, Alex Gavalda, Director Product & Commercial commented, ‘As Olga Kefalogianni, Greece’s Minister of Tourism, made clear at World Travel Market, visitor numbers to Greece for 2023 are looking strong enough to surpass the record-setting year of 2019.
Trading for 2024 shows a significant uplift and we are confident that the timely introduction of our new brochure, with what we believe to be the largest choice of luxury inventory in the marketplace, will help us to capitalise on this early momentum.’
‘We have key family-friendly inventory in areas such as Corfu, Crete, Halkidiki, Kos, Mykonos, Rhodes, Santorini and Zakynthos. Athens and the Athens Riviera can be booked as a simple city break or combined as part of two centre holidays.
Enhanced commercial agreements have added extra capacity in the crucial luxury sector, in addition to our Preferred Partner status with Sani and Ikos resorts (pictured).’
The new brochure features 210 properties covering boutique and adult only hotels, family-suited all inclusive resorts, and larger luxury properties some with villa options. Destinations include Athens, mainland Greece, the Peloponnese, a further 11 Greek islands, and Cyprus.
It highlights two and multi centre holidays and island hopping suggestions throughout. The luxury operator is offering flights with multiple airlines from UK airports.
Gavalda continued ‘In Cyprus properties such as Cap St Georges and City of Dreams Mediterranean bring welcome innovation to the luxury hotel sector, with the introduction of Michelin-starred guest chefs, private yachting experiences and Europe’s largest casino. There have also been a host of new and refurbished hotel openings and we have increased our product offering accordingly.’
E-brochures are currently downloadable from the Classic Collection website and printed brochures can be ordered through Tradegate.
