Greece remains the top holiday destination for Romanians considering the number of tour packages sold by local agencies.

From a turnover perspective, however, Turkey has become the best-selling destination, as packages to Turkey are more expensive, said Alin Burcea, first vice president of the National Association of Travel Agencies (ANAT), cited by local Economica.net.

The number of holidays booked for Greece went down during the two weeks when the country’s economic situation was uncertain, but the sales resumed after the country reached an agreement with the international institutions, said Burcea. The holidays booked for the Romanian seaside have increased compared to last year, and they could reach a 2-5% growth.

Tourists continue to buy last-minute offers while for the agencies, early bookings represent the most important category, Burcea added.
