According to an analysis by INSETE, the Institute of the Greek Tourism Confederation (SETE), demand for tourist services in the country is not expected to be significantly impacted by global economic developments in 2024 in the countries of origin for inbound travelers.
The report underlines that the course of inbound tourist traffic to Greece will be contingent upon the reinforcement of the international competitiveness of the Greek brand.
This goal, the analysis points out, can be achieved by implementing a targeted strategic approach based on five main pillars of infrastructure, investment and competitiveness, effective destination management, the labor marketplace, and sustainability.
