The Greek Minister for Tourism expects the country to make a full tourism recovery in 2022.

It met its initial objectives for tourism in 2021 which were to surpass 50% of the 2019 record figures.

Greece outlined its 10-year strategy comprising product development and promotion, accessibility and connectivity, green infrastructure and sustainable tourism."

"The Greek Tourism sector showed remarkable resilience," Vasilis Kikilias.

"The figures show that travel receipts more than doubled on a year-to-year basis. All quality indicators such as average spending and length of stay were also significantly improved."

"A full recovery in Greek tourism is expected in 2022.This is not based on wishful thinking but on the hard data we are getting on the number of new flights new routes and interest expressed for Greece from the industry."

The UK market generated €787 million, an increase of 75.2%.

"A closer partnership of the private and public sector was established, which resulted to the soft re-opening of the Greek travel industry, with safety, professionalism and strict protocols that were implemented in an exemplary manner," Kikilias added.

He said the average expenditure per trip and the average length of stay both rose.

"Because Greece announced early how it would open up to international tourism, operators, clients and airlines were given confidence to plan."
