Holidays in Greece will rise in price due to higher taxes

The reforms that the Greek government will have to undertake can directly affect tourism.

In exchange for financial assistance from the European Union, Greece will have to implement a number of tough reforms. These will include a tax increase that will affect the tourism industry: for cafes and restaurants the tax will increase from 13% to 23%, for hotels - from 6,5% to 13%.

Increasing the tax from October 1 will make tours to Greece more expensive and less competitive compared to the resorts of neighboring Spain or Cyprus. The first increase in tax will affect higher income islands such as Mykonos, Santorini, Rhodes and Kos. On the other islands of the Aegean Sea, tax regime tightening will occur by the end of 2016.

According to the Greek National Tourism Association (GNTO), the tourism sector of the country is not experiencing difficulties due to the economic crisis. Thus, the number of arrivals throughout the country in 2015 increased by 7%. There are also no cases of cancellation of tours due to the crisis in the country, which is confirmed by foreign tour operators.
