For now, normality. Even TUI returned to the German Stock Exchange in Frankfurt this Monday, there are European elections in June, the Olympic Games in Paris and the Euro 2024 Championship, which will be held entirely in Germany between June and July of this year. In view of the good demand, tour operators have significantly expanded their programs for Morocco, Egypt and Tunisia, as a short summary shows. No one in Gran Canaria has yet spoken about the impact of these events on demand for the Maspalomas destination.
However, destinations are rushing their summer proposals. Alltours has significantly increased its hotel offering in Marrakech and Agadir. A total of 25 houses can now be booked, for example Kenzi Medina Agdal in Marrakech and Pickalbatros White Beach Resort in Taghazout, and two tours that can be combined with a stay on the beach. The main partners of the organizer are RIU Hotels, Iberostar, Kenzi and Pickalbatros. Alltours also offers new houses in Djerba, in the Monastir and Hammamet regions. Major partners include Iberostar and TTS Hotels, including Sentido Djerba Beach and Sahara Beach Aquapark. New developments in Egypt include the Pickalbatros Portofino Villagio Resort and Portofino Vita Resort hotels in the Marsa Alam region. You can also book the Jaz Iberotel Costa Mares there, reports Touristik Aktuell.
The organizer Coral Travel/Ferien Touristik has strengthened its collaboration with Air Cairo and expanded availability, especially to Marsa Alam and Sharm el Sheikh. New to the portfolio is Jaz Asteria Beach at Sahl Hasheesh, which opened in May. The Pickalbatros Vita Resort Portofino is now available for booking. New to Sharm el Sheikh are the Arina Sun Resort & Aqua Park and the Amara Star Resort & Aqua Park. One of the bookable hotels in Djerba is the Hotel Blue Beach Golf & Spa in Skanes, which opens in June. The organizer also wants to add Morocco as a new destination later this year.
Among the new proposals, DER Tour has designed the Tunisia plan for next summer: 'cultural treasures and desert sun', which until now could only be booked in winter. In Morocco, guests can combine history with relaxation at the 'Combination of Imperial Cities and Atlantic Beach Holidays'. The operator's new hotels in Egypt include the new Sentido Reef Oasis Suakin, the Gemma Resort with an offshore reef, the Amara by Jaz and the Monarque Club Rivage, offered exclusively by DER Tour Group. The Calimera One Resort Jockey and the Oceana Hammamet, among others, can now be booked in Tunisia. In addition, according to Michael Kunkel, director of North Africa, the hotel portfolio in Morocco increased by five percent more in riads.
FTI has a new destination on its program with Ain Sokhna in combination with Cairo. In addition, the organizer expands the offer of own accommodation. The Beach Safari Resort in Marsa Alam will be available exclusively to guests starting in May. New to the summer program are family trips from Cairo and Luxor with guided tours in German for children. There is also the culinary tour in El Gouna.
The True Beach Resort in Marsa Alam, whose design helped the organizer from planning to construction, can now be booked in Schauinsland-Reisen. It consists of two areas: The Village area is aimed at guests over 16 years of age. On July 1, the One Resort Premium opens in Hammamet, Tunisia, which is exclusively contracted by Schauinsland-Reisen.
