Easter Travel Trends: Gran⁢ Canaria Remains Top Destination

Charter companies are reporting strong figures ‍for Easter travel, wiht many flights fully⁢ booked as Norwegians seek ⁤warmer climates.

Popular Destinations

Gran Canaria remains the most sought-after destination. “Norwegians ⁤want a sun guarantee, since we prioritize travel as high as we do,” says Anne Mørk-Løwengreen, communications⁢ manager at TUI Norway.

Tenerife and Lanzarote⁤ are also popular choices, along with a⁢ surge in interest in Thailand.

“We have sold over ten times more trips to Thailand during the Easter week this⁤ year compared to the same ‍time last year. So Thailand is extremely trendy⁤ this⁤ year, which⁣ may be related to the immensely popular HBO series ‘The White ‍Lotus’ Season 3 recorded there,” Mørk-Løwengreen added.

Marie-anne Zachrisson, Contry Manager of Ving Norway, notes that Cape Verde is also a favorite, ⁤alongside established destinations ‍like⁣ Mallorca, Gran Canaria, Cyprus, Crete, and ⁢Egypt.

“For these places, there ‍are actually 100 percent full aircraft, and there is only Tenerife ⁤left where there are some leftovers left from Oslo and Trondheim. Easter this year is a bit special, it falls in late April. This means that we can offer more destinations around the Mediterranean to⁢ a ⁣greater extent than the years Easter falls in March,” she said.

Last-Minute Options

For those who haven’t yet booked, some opportunities remain. Rivera suggests that vacancies might still exist for spontaneous trips to Mallorca or Rome.

she recommends exploring London’s food markets or visiting Rome’s past sites.
