23 July 2023 at 08:54 Ving and Tui do like Apollo – cancel trips The travel companies Ving and Tui have, like Apollo, also canceled trips to Rhodes. – The customers who have booked hotels in areas that have been evacuated have had their trip cancelled, says country manager Marie-Anne Zachrisson in Ving to news on Sunday morning. Ving has around 2,500 guests on Rhodes. They will know more about how many of them are affected after meeting with a crisis team that has now been established. The same applies to the customers of Tui who had departed for the Greek holiday island on Sunday. – Guests who have booked hotels in areas with fire or risk of fire have had their trip cancelled. But we have not stopped general flights to Rhodes, says Tui to news. There are around 100 people who will be affected by the cancellations on Sunday. About 2,500 from the Nordic countries are already in Rhodes, says Tui. Apollo spoke about the cancellation to VG on the night of Sunday. – It’s really boring to have to call someone and tell them about it the night before. This applies to departures from Oslo, Stavanger, Bergen and Trondheim, says the company’s communications manager, Beatriz Rivera, to VG. The company has not canceled the actual flights to the island, only the journeys for those going to the areas of Lardos, Pefkos and Kiotari. Rivera estimates that this applies to around 200 people. (NTB) Over 30,000 people have been evacuated from the threatening forest fire that is out of control in Rhodes. The fire service has categorized the entire east coast of the Greek mainland, as well as the islands of Evvia and Rhodes, as category 5 areas, i.e. the highest on a scale for risk of fire. The case is updated.
