The hotels of Rhodes are full in recent weeks and the estimations that this year will be the best tourism year ever for Rhodes are almost confirmed.
According to the recently announced data, July was actually a particularly good month, as the increase in tourist arrivals exceeded 9%, moving in the respective rates of the previous months.
However, despite the increased tourist arrivals in the island of the Knights, tourists aren’t spending as much per person, creating some worries about how much revenues will be brought in compared to the number of visitors.
According to the data, July ended with a 9,2% increase, as 378,380 people arrived at the island with charter flights, in comparison to last year’s number of 346,493 tourists a difference of 31,887.
The analysis of the data shows that the tourist flow from Russia is particularly strong, recording a big increase in arrivals of 57.54%. But the number of visitors is up across the board from all countries represented, led by England, followed by Russia and Germany.
