Greece is enjoying a tourist and cultural booming. Notwithstanding, a dangerous winter is not far off.
Elon Musk travelled to Mykonos earlier this month and reputedly pay €7,000 to spend a short time on a jewel speedboat. While Nicole Kidman supplemented "beautiful Greece," Magic Johnson shouted about his "life-changing experience" at the Acropolis, and Roger Federer loved the sunlight with his family it off of the tennis court on the near resort of Paros.
Vassilis Kikilias, the tourism minister for Greece, told the Observer the "this year the whole nation is voting [for] Greece." "We still are undergoing a war in Europe, a pandemic that is here, an energy issue, global instability, inflation, tensions with Turkey, and even jellyfish. Arrivals including well islands are increased by 20%.
It does not get much better in the capital of Greece either: after the lost years of the coronavirus, visitors have come again in droves, crowding the streets of the city's old district and crowding archaeological sites.
As according estimates, the 2019 tourist season will exceed the country's all-time maximum of 33.1 million visitors, which is greater than three times the total population of Greece 🇬🇷
Greece is experiencing a wonderful summer. The situation will improve just when visitor authorities believe it really can. This week, Athens is anticipating a million visitors, and notwithstanding the jellyfish, record population of individuals are coming to the islands – jellyfish notwithstanding – and there are holidaying celebrities galore.
Flights into Athens's international airport, one of the few in Europe this summer not troubled by delays, have climbed by 20%. The industry has undergone such a boost that if the only problem, if any, is a lack of people to staff it. Resorts and hotels have engaged Ukrainian refugees to help fill the positions in recent months.
There have been nine regular direct flights from the US to Athens as of 2 March. It's changed the whole game, stated Kikilias. "By November, roughly 500,000 Americans are predicted to gather. Despite the dollar to exchange rates, they can expand its already huge expenditures.
When Greece opened its border in May 2018, it earned in just over €10 billion and €18.2 billion us dollars from visitors. The Greek prime minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, has Said last Thursday that he imagined officials would be "delighted surprised" until they did the math at the end of the season.
He reminded the US network said "Greece is doing well this summer." "We've focused on enhancing our offers the opportunity & insure that all new tourism investments are sustainable. The visitor season started quite early this year, and I understand it to end very late.
One in five professions in Greece are already in the tourism market, which earns 25% of the country's standard of living.
Something more than an emotional luxury, the bug and seems to have taken hold post Covid has had a damage.
