Just been looking on TUI site for summer 2023 and San Stefano's is not on.Sidari,Roda,Kassiopi and 8 other resorts are looks like TUI are pulling out.
-
Perhaps they are holding back to consolidate what makes more money for them… :-\
-
Let's hope so, just seems strange all other resorts come up but not San Stefano's, may be a little early.
-
It'll turn up eventually. Contracts have to be finalised. The 2022 season hasn't started yet, so I suspect it's far too early for them to worry yet.
I suspect prices will go up steeply this years because of the cost of jet fuel.

TUI now have availability for SS for 2023
-
That's great news
-
I was very surprised that the prices hadn't rocketed!
-
Was looking at flights to Italy, £20 return! No doubt the seat cost etc would triple that.

Ridiculous prices for 2023, 1 week self catering at little Prince in June from Norwich £610 per person 😒

Just trying to understand this. I suppose they are aware lots of people are very keen and the proof is that they are looking to book 2023? Of course they have lost money and their costs are going through the roof. Could there also be an element of trying to heard people to their bigger hubs to squeeze even more money out of us? Personally we would only ever book these day very last minute as we are prepared to be very flexible, but even more so, not too disappointed if we don’t get to go.

I think this is the tip of the iceberg. The war in Ukraine and subsequent economic shocks are going to price most families out of having any overseas holiday. In the months to come £610 per person may look like the bargain of the century sadly .... hoping I'm wrong :'(

I think you can blame the cost of Tui flights for most of this damage from what my research found out. ::)

Packages are always very expensive this far in advance. TUI flight-only is also expensive because on the whole I think they prefer to sell packages. The hotel owners don't get that much apart from a big on-line marketing operation, so what looks like a cheap holiday is actually a fairly dear flight.
It's a lot easier to have your own servicing and maintenance centre at a large airport. Smaller regionals can never be as cheap as Manchester or Stansted. We pay a bit more for the convenience.
Fuel cost rises are significant. A typical TUI or Ryanair 737 fuel cost was about $1500 per hour in 2020. So, about $9,000 to fly to Corfu and back from the UK. That's heading towards double already this year, so say around $15,000. A 737 holds up to about 200 passengers so a full plane = $75 per passenger. Add the cost of the plane and crew, and you're not making money. But you can carry cargo and get paid for it. Cargo is better at bigger airports, or airports with good transport connections. Doncaster is a big cargo hub. Wizz Air flies from former eastern European countries all year round. It's very near the M18/M1/A1M motorways. Fly your Greek yoghurt on a TUI plane from Corfu, load it onto a WA jet, and it's in Bucharest in a few hours.
