With international arrivals at Greek airports increasing by around 200 percent during the first seven months of the year compared to the same time in 2021, passenger traffic to Greece also increased in July and August.

According to Alpha Bank, travel receipts increased state revenue during the first half of 2022, increasing it by 18.5 percent to 41.8 billion euros from 35.3 billion euros during the same time of 2021. The increase in VAT revenue from 6.7 billion euros in the first half of 2021 to 8.4 billion euros is also regarded as substantial.

“In conclusion, Greek tourism is heading for an excellent year, supporting public revenue, despite inflationary pressures worldwide and the environment of high uncertainty that has emerged following the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the energy crisis,” Alpha Bank noted in its report.
