In 2020, the tour operator Cocktail Holidays recorded sales over 50% lower than in 2019, and for this year, the agency aims for a volume double that of 2020.
The 2021 summer season comes with the operation of already established charter flights to destinations in Greece and Turkey, but if the destinations of Spain and Cyprus are reopened, the tour operator will also resume flights to these two countries.
Dan Goicea, CEO of Cocktail Holidays, specified that the tourism market has become last-minute again, and tourists want to pay as late as possible, no longer booking their vacations in advance as they did before. Therefore, the agency has met tourists’ needs with offers suitable for this new type of behavior.
In 2019, Cocktail Holidays recorded sales of EUR 25 million, 40% more than the previous year, and the number of tourists served in 2019 exceeded 35,000.
