Greek tourism set a historical record in terms of the number of visitors and revenues in 2024.

The growth in revenue came despite a decline in spending by French tourists, which analysts attributed to the 2024 Paris Olympics. However, revenue from American tourists surged by 15.1%.The Bank of Greece also noted a gradual decline in per-trip spending, a trend attributed to the growing popularity of shorter stays.
