What Mouzenidis Travel does

Mouzenidis Travel is a Thessaloniki-based tour operator founded in 1995 and the foundational entity of the Mouzenidis Group, a privately-held Greek conglomerate comprising more than twenty subsidiaries. The company sells package holidays primarily inbound to Greece from CIS and European source markets, distributed through 80+ offices across 16 countries and 14 branches within Greece at major resort destinations including Athens, Chalkidiki, Crete, Corfu, Rhodes, and Zakynthos. Its customer base spans general leisure tourists, MICE corporate clients, VIP travelers, families with children, Orthodox Christian pilgrims, and real estate investors.

The company operates a vertically integrated service stack comprising its own airline (Ellinair, with five Airbus aircraft running 120+ weekly charter flights in summer), a fleet of 100+ A-Class Mercedes and Setra buses, and the Bomo Hotels chain (3- to 5-star properties across Greece, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Georgia, UAE, Russia, and Turkey).

The business model is per-booking transaction revenue on bundled tour packages (flight, hotel, ground transport, ancillary), complemented by revenue from sister subsidiaries covering MICE events, luxury travel (Elion Club), real estate (Grekodom), cargo (Cargo CSR), security (Perseas), parking, and youth/family entertainment.

The company states it grew tourist flow more than 60 times between 1998 and 2020 and publicly targets 1 million tourists per year. Between 2016 and 2020 it expanded outbound tourism to Cyprus, Bulgaria, Italy, Spain, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Turkey, the Maldives, Mauritius, UAE, Qatar, and Oman.
