A ranking of bookings presented by the CEO and founder of the French tour operator, Raouf Ben Slimane, puts the Canary Islands in first place, confirming a report in the specialist newspaper L'Echo touristique that Spain is at the top of French travel intentions, with the Canary Islands.

Greece, with five destinations, follows in second place and in third place in the tour operator's top 10 is the Balearic Islands.

In fact, in a post on his social networks, Ben Slimane cites the Canary Islands, along with the Greek islands, as the "locomotives" in medium-haul travel.

In his analysis, the Thalasso chief highlights that the new addition is Egypt and that Tanzania/Zanzibar manages to position itself above even Morocco, thanks to the fact that it did not close its borders during the two years of the pandemic.

Ben Slimane also adds that the second quarter will "re-organise the pieces" in terms of the demand picture for destinations, but without disrupting the leading duo of Greece and the Canary Islands, in medium-distance travel, and Dubai and the Dominican Republic, in long-distance travel.
