COVID-19 – when will it end?
Why and how should I register now?

No-one officially knows at the moment when this will finally end.

However, with countries NOW starting to ease their “lockdowns”, the industry thought currently is: trusting that the second half of the season will open by July and be well under way by the start of August (some places earlier).

Indeed, Croatia and Greece are already declaring that their charter operations will open in June… so at the moment, these two middle weeks of August in Greece are being certainly declared as “good to go” !

Registering is nevertheless “non-committal” at the moment – just showing your interest. Bookings will be taken at the end of May

This HELPS us know at least some idea of numbers… so please…

DO REGISTER YOUR INTEREST … just to show us how many cabins could be possible.

Thank you.
