In 2023, Greece's tourism sector flourished significantly, witnessing remarkable growth in total international arrivals, which surged by approximately 17.6% compared to 2022, as reported by the Bank of Greece, but also 4.4% higher than the pre-Covid record of 31.3 million in 2019. Moreover, the promising trend extended to the employment landscape, with unemployment rates plummeting first time since 2009 in single digit. Additionally, statistics from the Hellenic Statistical Authority (ELSTAT) reveal that turnover within the hospitality industry amounted to a substantial €10.8 billion for the period spanning January to December, which is 10.7% higher than last year. Given Greece's strong historical performance in tourism, it's anticipated that 2024 will set a new record, with tourism revenue nearing €22 billion. The surge in arrivals at Athens International Airport, reaching 95% of capacity in April 2023 and maxing out during the summer, has triggered the 33MAP expansion plan. This plan involves expanding the terminal by 81,000 square meters to accommodate 33 million passengers annually, with financing already secured. Completion is slated for 2028, while projections suggest that within the decade, the 40MAP expansion may be triggered, necessitating an increase in capacity to 40 million passengers per year.
