The Greek tourist industry is heavily dependent on the prosperity in countries such as the United Kingdom. Hence – emphasizes Andreadis – the sector can already 2,017 years begin to feel the negative effects of Brexitu.
In 2O15 year, Greece was visited by 2.4 million Britons who spent there 2 billion. Equally eager to buy their flats and houses, both in Athens and in the popular Greek islands.
the fall of the pound against the euro will reduce the influx of tourists from the UK. This could be amortized by lowering rates in Greek hotels. However – according to Andreadis – hoteliers have already exhausted their “margin of maneuver” because a few months ago the government was forced to pay back the loan aid, imposed on them new taxes and charges.
Earlier on the income of the Greek tourism sector had a negative impact the weakness of the Russian economy. In 2014, Greece wypoczywało 1.2 million tourists from Russia. The following year, only 512,000. This is a direct result of decrease in the value of the Russian currency. In June, 2014. One euro cost 47 rubles, and in 2015. Already 61 rubles.
Greece managed to compensate for the loss of some customers from Russia increased inflow of tourists from the UK and other European Union countries, but soon on Greek beaches and the Acropolis you will probably have heard much less English.
last year, tourists from the European Union accounted for over 60 percent of all people who visited Greece. Among them the most numerous were Germans, then the English and Italians. This year is still half a million reservation to reach last year’s result.
