International Arrivals at tourist accommodation establishments in Greece 1995-2024, by month

Description

The chart shows international arrivals at tourist accommodation establishments in Greece from 1995 to 2024. Greece experienced a steady rise in international tourism over the years, with clear seasonal peaks reflecting strong summer travel demand. Starting in the late 1990s, international arrivals gradually increased, with more rapid growth occurring after 2010, as Greece solidified its position as a top global tourist destination. The COVID-19 pandemic caused a sharp dip in 2020, with arrivals plummeting due to global travel restrictions. However, by 2021, tourism rebounded, and by 2023-2024, international arrivals had nearly reached pre-pandemic levels. This recovery highlights Greece's resilience and ongoing appeal to global travelers, particularly for its historical, cultural, and beach destinations, with a clear upward trajectory for future growth.
