Twenty-seven tour operators from Germany are currently in the occupied territories, following an invitation by the so-called “T/C airlines”, the T/C press reported on Thursday. According to certain reports, the German tour operators will stay in the occupied areas until January 21 and will have contacts with T/C tourist agents and hotels for cooperation.

Invited to comment on the latest developments to StockWatch, CTO Chairman, Fotis Fotiou said that the T/C regime keeps saying that it has contacts with large tour operators although this is not true.

“We have been assured by large German tour operators such as ITS and FTI that they will not reach an agreement with the occupied territories. The German visitors are just small tour operators that serve the T/C interests. No reason to worry about”, Mr. Fotiou concluded.
