It is also true that the Commission has not been able to accept this proposal. Greek tourism.
According to its latest information Bank of Greece, travel receipts in April exceeded 1.1 billion euros, with an increase of 9.5% compared to the corresponding last month, despite the uncertainty that prevailed and the successive violations of the fragile truce agreed between the US and Iran on 8 April.
The revenue is even more impressive if it is calculated the entire first four months of the year, as inputs touched 2.8 billion euros. This is a 37% leap against the corresponding period last year, which corresponds to an increase in receipts by almost EUR 753 million.
The TTE's data prove both the resilience of Greek tourism, which seems to come out largely unscathed of the crisis in Middle East, the consequent reduction in travel and the shrinking of air fuel stocks.
They also reflect the gradual introduction of Greece as a destination and in the winter months, confirming the success of the effort to extend the tourist season over the last seven years.
Detailed data on the travel balance will be published by TE next Monday.
