Levels of customer traffic in the duty free shops in Greek airports send optimistic messages regarding this year’s tourist season, Tourism Minister Vassilis Kikilias said in an interview with Action24.
More specifically, he reported an increase in travellers’ spending in Duty Free Shops, stating that this reached 19 pct in the first 16 days of June, compared to with the corresponding period of 2019.
“This was preceded by alot of hard work in the autumn and winter, as was done in the previous two years at the health ministry during the pandemic, in order for the average Greek family to have revenues and prosper,” Kikilias said, referring to the positive results of the ministry’s strategy, which are reflected in the data published by the Bank of Greece (BoG), which showed impressive increases in arrivals and travel spending last April.
