  • [01] Tourist arrivals to rise by 6.0 pct this year

    Greek tourism foreign exchange revenues are expected to rise by 3-3.5 percent this year, while tourist arrivals are expected to rise by 5.5-6.0 percent over the same period, Stavros Andreadis, president of the Association of Hellenic Tourist Enterprises (SETE) said on Tuesday.

    Speaking to reporters, during a news conference on the occassion of the 23rd Philoxenia international travel and tourism trade fair to begin in Thessaloniki November 1st, Andreadis said that Greek tourism will rise for the third year running. "The problems facing Greek tourism are neither simple, or can be resolved with a magic touch. They are the result of decades of deglect," he noted.

    Commenting on a special tourism zoning plan unveiled by the government, Andreadis said "nobody was satisfied with the plan", while he stressed that it was drafted without the consultation of the tourism industry.

    Hellenic Tourism Organisation's officials, speaking to reporters, said that a total of 20 hotels -five or four star category- were currently under construction in Central Macedonia and that the projects were expected to be completed in 2008-09. Ten hotels are build in Chalkidiki, six in Pella and four in Pieria. The same officials said that tourist arrivals to Central Macedonia (travelling by air) grew 8.3 percent so far this year.
