The report said that international airport arrivals grew 14.6 percent in June (up 18 percent so far this year), led by Athens (+27 percent), while regional airports recorded an 11.7 percent increase.
The report said that according to Bank of Greece’s statistics, average consumption spending by foreign visitors grew both in May (travel receipts were up 34.7 percent compared with May 2017) and in the year (21.7 percent).
