All the signs indicate that Greek tourism is expecting a very successful summer season. Greek hotel owners and industry professionals are confident the current season will be extended based on messages by foreign tour operators and are already setting their eyes on the next season.

Greek tourism is rapidly rising, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on Monday said during his meeting with the delegation of Greek Tourism Confederation (SETE) at the Maximos Mansion.

EU funds off 557 million euros will be channeled to the Greek economy in 2014-2020 to extend the tourist season and boost tourism arrivals, European Commission spokesman Margaritis Schinas said in a conference of the Greek Tourism Confederation (SETE).
