Mouzenidis Group Reports Growth in 2018

Thessaloniki-based Mouzenidis Group said turnover for 2018 came to 350 million euros driven by the improved performance of its airline Ellinair, travel services provider Mouzenidis Travel, and real estate company Grekodom.

Performance in 2019 is moving in the same upward directions, the company said, backed by a 15-20 percent increase in reservations against last year.

In 2018, Mouzenidis Group activity generated 234 million euros in incoming cash flows for Greece, against 208.5 million euros in 2017, with further growth expected in 2019, the company said.

“2019 is expected to be another year of growth by at least 5 percent for the group’s companies to the benefit of the Greek economy, Greek tourism, local communities, employees and shareholders,” said Mouzenidis Group President Boris Mouzenidis.

The largest Greek tour operator in Eastern Europe and with a significant presence in other markets, our [Mouzenidis’] responsibility is great for the advancement of Greek tourism, which is the country’s main economic activity. In this context, the provision of high quality services to our customers is a top priority,” he added.
