Despite the prolonged financial crisis and the plight of the national economy, tourism in Greece is on the rise and is about to reach pre-crisis level.

According to the forecasts of tour operators, the Greek beaches of the Aegean Sea for the current summer season will visit more than 17 million tourists . Representatives of the local tourism industry expect a jump in revenues by 10%, which is 11 billion EUR . "The crisis is largely affected Greece, and because of the fall in tourist demand, prices for hotels and leisure over the past four years have fallen by 40% . But, looking at the situation from a different angle, we can state that the workers of the tourism sector offer today more travelers to the former price "- said the president of the Association of hoteliers Attiki Alexandros Vassilikos .

Englishmen, Russians and Germans massively book tours and hotel rooms, thus confirming their return to Greek land. For the restoration of tourist attraction, Greeks should first of all thank Egypt, which now suffers because of political instability.
