Travel receipts grew 72% in January, totaling 224.2 million euros from 130.5 million in the corresponding month last year, the Bank of Greece said on Friday.

More specifically, based on provisional data, the balance of travel services in January showed a surplus of 26.3 million euros, down from a surplus of 44.0 million in January 2022. Travel payments also increased by 129.0% (January 2023: 197.9 million, January 2022: 86.4 million). The rise in travel receipts was due to an 86.1% increase in inbound traveller flows, as average expenditure per trip declined by 7.6%. Net travel receipts offset 1.1% of the goods deficit and contributed 9.8% of total net services receipts.

Travel receipts from residents of EU27 countries increased by 23.7% to 95.1 million euros, while receipts from outside the EU27 grew by 141.4% (January 2023: 128.9 million, January 2022: 53.4 million). The rise in receipts from within the EU27 is attributed to a 31.3% increase in receipts from residents of euro area countries (January 2023: 80.7 million, January 2022: 61.5 million), as receipts from non-euro area residents decreased by 6.9% to 14.3 million.
