Tourism revenues in Greece dropped 1.8% in August 2024, despite a 6.6% increase in visitor arrivals, according to the Bank of Greece. This marks the second consecutive month of decline, raising industry concerns. Contributing factors include reduced tourist spending on non-hotel expenses, the rise of short-term rentals like Airbnbs, and higher airfare prices. As September approaches, stakeholders are monitoring the situation for signs of recovery.
In 2023, Greece recorded one of the shortest average working life durations in the European Union, with significant gender disparities.
