Positive prospects for the country’s tourism (GREECE)


Positive prospects for the country’s tourism

Tourism demand in Greece will increase by an annual rate of 6.5 percent by 2016, the World Tourism and Travel Council (WTTC) estimates in a report it delivered to the Tourism Development Ministry. Greece enjoys healthy growth in tourism, so it will easily exceed the global average of 4.2 percent and the EU average of 3.5 percent, the WTTC suggests. Employment in Greek tourism will rise by 152,000 jobs until 2016, maintaining its 10.3 percent share of all employment in Greece’s job market. For tourism in Greece to realize all its potential, it requires strong state support and well-planned strategies, says the WTTC.
