Is it really cheaper to go to Greece now? (And in Egypt? And in Tunisia?)


We tend to think that the countries most severely affected by the economic crisis would have become "good vacation planning." What exactly is it? Jean-Francois Rial, CEO of the agency "World travelers' answers in detail.

Greece has it become a destination "good plan"?

Jean-Francois Rial (Voyageurs du Monde): It depends on when you go and where you go. What is certain is that overall the destination has not become more expensive. That's not bad. If you decide to go to very nice hotels starred in midsummer, it will not be cheaper than before the crisis. However, starting off season on the mainland, you'll save money in comparison. In reality, the reason why Greece is particularly interesting in that moment is that there is much less crowded. The tours are so much nicer. I had the opportunity to visit recently on the island of Santorini and Mount Santo, it was very good, there were very few tourists.

Why was he there fewer tourists? Do travelers have fear? Is the image of the destination that is affected?
Regarding Greece, the first travelers were afraid of that there is more public service. They were afraid that the airports stop working or being caught in the middle of an event, but there is actually no need to fear.
  
What about the price of flights? They fall? That we tend to think if fewer people travel to Greece, the price of air transport will drop ...
No, it is not. When a destination fails, airlines halt flights or reduce the wing. Currently, the air in the direction of Greece is below its price is therefore up prices can not fall further.

And life there?
In Greece, there is the euro and many products are imported, including agricultural products, so no, there, the prices have not
moved.
 


And Egypt? Is the destination more accessible now?

In Egypt, prices were already low but they still declined due to lack of absolute attendance and because the currency is. So, hotels, cruise lines ... Everyone has lowered its prices. Egypt could be a real good plan. Especially at present, the main archaeological site usually crowded, are deserted! It's a real comfort to travelers. It should be noted that security in Egypt is optimum, there is no risk, including for women.

How do you explain this drop in attendance?

There are fewer people because the perception of security in Egypt but also in Tunisia is bad. Turkey is also affected by this hostile environment to Islam and Muslims. Maldives too. Prices have fallen sharply in the Maldives last year. But there is absolutely nothing to fear in these countries. Egypt is a big country in which there Cairo where there is Tahrir Square that ignites occasionally. Just avoid making Tahrir Square that day. This is the "A" of the 20h Journal makes tourism.
