MORE BRITISH TOURISTS HEAD FOR GREECE

Friday, 28 Mar 2008

Greece is currently attracting an increased number of British holidaymakers, according to one travel firm.

Lastminute.com said the amount of bookings for next month is 15 per cent higher than it was during April 2007.

This is a positive development for the Greek tourism industry which could also benefit people affiliated with the sector.

For example, increased tourism will create more demand for temporary lodgings in tourist hotspots such as Kos and Rhodes.

This places owners of rental accommodation in line to collect higher returns on their investment.

Lastminute.com said people are choosing to head abroad next month because many schools are having a late Easter break, while the poor weather has led to many opting for warm countries such as Greece.

John Bevan, managing director of the firm, commented: "The unusually cold weather has led to incredible demand for late Easter sun holidays."

This comes after Holiday-Rentals revealed that Greece is also becoming more popular with overseas property buyers from the UK, in particular buy-to-let investors.
