How much do tourists contribute to the Greek economy?

Tourism is a major contributor to the Greek economy, accounting for 25% of the country’s GDP and providing employment opportunities to almost one-fifth of the population. In 2018, the number of international visitors exceeded 33.5 million, creating revenue of €17.5 billion and contributing to the growth of the Greek economy. Tourists from other European countries account for the majority of arrivals, followed by visitors from North America, and the country is expecting to receive more tourists from fast-growing markets such as China. The tourism sector also benefits local businesses, providing support for the country’s restaurants, hotels, transportation, and other services.
