Overview
- German tour operators have canceled all package holidays to the Persian Gulf after new travel warnings.
- TUI says three quarters of summer bookings now target Europe, led by Mallorca, Crete, Rhodes, Kos, the Canary Islands and Antalya.
- Flights to Asia have jumped in price because airlines must avoid Gulf hubs and longer routes burn more fuel.
- Germany advises against non‑essential travel to Turkey’s border provinces with Iran, Iraq and Syria, and local operators there report waves of cancellations.
- Greece draws strong demand with early‑booking deals of up to about 60%, and Athens has capped fuel and basic‑food prices and earlier cut ferry port fees to blunt costs.
