Few Greek tourists were recorded in 2016, compared to 2015, although total tourism-related expenditures from this particular group increased, Greece’s independent statistics authority (EL.STAT) revealed on Friday.
According to released figures, fewer Greek tourists also generated – as expected – fewer trips and overnight stays by the former.
Specifically, EL.STAT said 3.3 million Greek tourists in 2016 accounted for 5.6 million trips, 4.4 percent and 4 percent less than the previous year, respectively.
Overnight stays by Greek tourists within the country totaled 56.3 million, while expenditures reached 1.812 billion euros, a decrease of 1.9 percent and an increase of 5.8 percent, respectively.
