Αlltours: Record year in 2026 with Greece as the leading actor

  • Record results in the 2024/25 season
  • 6% growth expected in the new fiscal year
  • Very early start of bookings – bookings for winter and summer 2026 already in the plan
  • Significant expansion of the allsun Hotels & Resorts chain – five new hotels by summer 2026

The alltours team announced impressive estimates, results, and prospects during a press conference at the ITB, which opened its doors. Specifically, the alltours group is very positive about its current business course, as after two record years, for the new year it is expected to increase turnover by 6%. Bookings for the winter and summer of 2026 started earlier than usual and are on track.

Record results in the 2024/25 season

The alltours group also reported record results in revenue, overnight stays, and profits in the past 2024/25 fiscal year. The unconsolidated turnover of the group increased by 18% to 2.735 billion euros. Net operating profit amounted to 115.6 million euros – an increase of 16% compared to the previous year. The positive result was contributed to by both tour operators alltours and byebye, as well as the privately-owned hotel chain allsun Hotels & Resorts, which will open five more hotels by the summer of 2026.

Positive booking trend in the new year

The current usage shows a dynamic booking trend. Greece remains the top summer destination in 2026, with very strong demand already above last year’s levels. This is also significantly contributed to by the new allsun Hotels in Greece. The largest market for the group remains Mallorca, followed by Turkey, and third in size, but first in growth rate is Greece.


The most popular Greek islands are: Crete, Rhodes, Kos, and Corfu.

Other popular products:

  • Majorca and Turkish Riviera
  • Egypt, with steady, multi-year growth
  • Thailand, Maldives, Dominican Republic, Mexico

For Bulgaria, a decrease is noted due to restrictions on air capacities after the cancellation of 36 weekly flights by Electra Airways from summer 2026.

A road trip increase from Germany to Poland, Austria, France, Italy, and within Germany is also noted.

Early booking cycle & strong February increase

Bookings for the summer of 2026 started earlier than any other year and were already very strong by September 2025. After a quiet period in December, bookings accelerated from the second week of January.

Since February 2026, alltours has seen growth of over 10%.

Willi Verhuven states: “For the current year, we expect a 6% increase in turnover. The desire for travel remains very strong.”

Significant expansion of allsun Hotels & Resorts

For the summer of 2026, the group offers an expanded exclusive program with hotels that can only be booked through alltours.

  • 5 in Greece in 2026
  • Total chain in 2026: 20 in Mallorca, 6 in the Canary Islands, 5 in Crete, 3 in Rhodes, 1 in Turkey
