GREEK TOURISM, THE 7 CHALLENGES

The continued success, growth and development of the Greek tourism sector will depend on its response to 7 highlighted challenges that it faces now and in the future. These are: 1. The health challenge, 2. The need for continued support from the State, 3. The Recovery Fund, 4. Infrastructure, 5. the digital transformation of tourism, 6. strategic partnerships of private and public bodies and 7. The entire relationship concerning the environment, green development, climate change, sustainability.

Responses to some of these challenges are in progress. For the pandemic, vaccination must still be the way ahead and safety protocols and regulations should be implemented again if necessary, as well as use of the digital European Vaccination Certificate, which will ensure safety and an environment of stability. With regards to the continued support from the State, although a lot has been done, more can be offered, like unified VAT on tourism and transport.

Funds that are channelled into the Greek economy from the Recovery Fund will significantly support the country's effort to get out of the unprecedented crisis caused by the pandemic and thus create a positive result in development. As for infrastructure, a plan was put in place back in 2020 with proposals for investment in public infrastructure projects throughout Greece. These would all enhance connectivity, attract new visitors, improve the tourist experience at the destination, create new experiences, promote sustainable development. They would be major projects with a large and multiplier effect.
