Characteristically, the honorary president of the Association of Greek Tourism Enterprises (SETE) Mr. Andreas Andreadis, after attaching to Google twitter data on travel demand to Greece, from the United Kingdom and Germany to Greece, points out: “After the shock of the invasion of Ukraine, demand for Greece is recovering impressively. Given the loss of the Russian market, which will be covered by other markets. “Tourist revenues are visible close to the levels of 2019. If we succeed, it will be a great success for the country.”
It is recalled that a few days ago, as ot.gr wrote, an analysis by Hotelwize, pointed out that the mixed feelings of the first days of the war, gave way to optimistic messages, as the increase of tourist interest for our country in the last ten days is more than clear.
