From 18 million international visitors in 2016, more than 25 million people visited Greece in 2017, and it is expected that in a few years this number will reach 35 million, almost three times the country’s population), an emerging regional energy hub, and possesses human capital that is outstanding.
The Competitive Advantage
The competitive advantages of Greece, such as rich cultural heritage, natural beauty and geographical variety, have been attracting significant tourism investments in recent years, thus further strengthening Greece’s image as an ideal destination both for holidays and tourism-related investments.
Even during the recent crisis, the tourist industry in Greece has been one of the mainstays of economic growth and employment, with a continued growth driven mainly by:
- The upgrading of the tourist product.
- The development of key, new markets such as Russia, Israel, Turkey and China.
The upgrading of the tourist product is supported by a number of initiatives by the Greek state, the Greek National Tourism Organization, the relevant business associations, and the regional authorities and municipalities, and is considered to be a strategic avenue for growth in the Greek economy.
