Spanish hotels plan to cut prices to keep tourists from returning to Egypt

Spanish hotels plan to cut prices to keep tourists from returning to Egypt: Hotels in Spain’s Mallorca and Ibiza are planning to slash their prices this summer to remain an attractive holiday destination for Brits and Germans, which are “being lured away by Tunisia, Egypt and Turkey,” according to The Sun. “Worries about safety in Tunisia, Egypt and Turkey over the last four years meant the Balearics didn’t have to rely on offers for the summer months of June, July and August.” Summer bookings to Turkey and Tunisia are up nearly 100% y-o-y, while Egypt’s bookings are up 61%.

The three countries are also becoming popular destinations among Dutch tourists once again, despite Dutch travel warnings against Tunisia and Egypt, according to NLTimes.
