Unleashing Summer Travel Frenzy at DER Touristik
Get ready for some major holiday vibes! DER Touristik, smack-dab in the heart of Germany, is diving headfirst into a summer booking bonanza, thanks to tantalizing price drops of up to 60%. Who's the big boss flaunting this exciting news? None other than the prolific Ingo Burmester, leading the charge for DER Touristik in Central Europe.
Guess who's been booking like there's no tomorrow? Nearly thrice as many travelers as previously, and a impressive 15% boost over the tourism season preceding the pandemic in 2018/19. You know where they're turning for a no-nonsense booking experience? Good old-fashioned brick-and-mortar travel agencies – the ones that still manage to round-up a whopping 60% customer satisfaction rates post-vacay vs. the online arena.
Say lips-a-smacking 'hello' to surging sales! According to Burmester, DER Touristik has already left the pandemic-tinged sales slump in its dust. So, what's the new revenue figure you ask? Not spilling those beans just yet! But it's needless to say, it's skyrocketed, ballooning an amazing 20% over the 2022/23 tourism year.
As for those guests, they're craving higher-end digs and vacationing splendor. 10% more luxury-loving folks have gone ahead with a booking, treating themselves to 4- or 5-star accommodations from brands like DERTOUR, ITS, and Meiers Weltreisen. No excuses left for not living large this summer!
Where in the world are these jolly folks jetting off to? Well, Turkey reigns supreme, followed by Spain and Greece. Tunisia and Egypt are holding their own in fourth and fifth, respectively. Looks like a brush-up on the local dialect might just come in handy – if only to understand everyone raving about their epic holiday escapades.
Burmester spills the beans on a recent Israel-Tunisia booking flop sparked by the flickering flames of conflict. Initial summer bookings to this neighboring North African paradise took a hit, but demand quickly regained its footing once calm was restored to the region.
