Visitors to Greece from Germany and Britain on the rise

Visitors to Greece from Germany and Britain on the riseA vast number of international tourists are expected to make their way to Greece for their summer holidays this year, according to leading tourism officials in the country.

Bookings by sunseekers from both Germany and Britain are up by double digit percentages, whilst airlines say they are adding more than a million new seats to and from the country to cope with what is expected to be an incredible demand.

Last year saw Greece welcome some 16 million visitors, who spent a combined €10 billion, accounting for approximately one sixth of gross domestic product and nearly 20% of jobs in the economically troubled country, further highlighting how important international tourism is to Greece and its people.

Boasting picturesque islands and turquoise ocean waters, Greece is a sensational destination for any of those on their singles holidays over the coming months.

Getting ready for our first summer guests with Friendship Travel singles holidays

In Oludeniz over the last week we have been having sunny days with temperatures between 23 – 28C, so with summer fast approaching I decided to pop in and see Ergun at the Era hotel to see how his preparations were coming along.

He has been a busy man over the last month or so! The pool looked very inviting as it is now full of water and ready for someone to make a big splash!

The pool is ready for our first solo travellers in May

The hotel and rooms have been painted with a slight change in colour decor, with a few extra touches, as has the inside of the restaurant and bar area.

Our returning guests will notice the difference straight away!

Staff are at the hotel helping Ergun, so with the sun shining, sun beds and pool at the ready and final touches being added we are all ready and just waiting for our first arrivals!!

Now I am looking forward to visiting Rhodes next week ready for our first arrivals.
