Eugenia Clim, director of Oasis Tour Moldova with 20 years of experience, shares her forecasts for the upcoming season.

Turkey retains its leading position due to the optimal price-quality ratio, as well as the ideal infrastructure for family holidays. Bulgaria is currently the most affordable option. Greece is a great alternative for those who want to diversify their holidays. Egypt is in demand all year round and is a top destination due to the optimal price-quality ratio. There is a growing interest in Tunisia, Albania and Montenegro. For connoisseurs of exclusivity, Vietnam, Maldives, Bali, Zanzibar, Sri Lanka and Mauritius are relevant.

On a 10-point scale, seasonal risks are assessed as almost zero. There is no shortage of transportation due to the availability of many charter flights from Chisinau. Due to visa-free entry to the EU for Moldovan citizens, visa risks are not assumed. There is competition with aggregators, but customers appreciate a personal approach and personal contact.

Portrait of a tourist: 90% are tourists looking for an optimal price–quality ratio; the VIP segment is small but stable; tourists who focus only on low prices can be redirected to better offers.

Tips for travel agents. Hotel connections are a key success factor. Direct interaction speeds up the resolution of any issues. Online training is an effective way to improve skills on the job. Active social media promotion is a necessity in modern tourism.

B2B platforms are an indispensable tool for professional growth and quick communication with hotels. Special thanks to the HelloOtel system and personally to its founder Sabir Mizam for creating a unique platform for professionals.
