Greece, as one of the world’s well-known destinations for travel, vacation, and honeymoon, affects the hearts of thousands of travellers and investors.
Greek Tourism Minister Harris Theoharis recently stated that if epidemiological conditions permit, the Greek tourism industry will be held on May 14. Open every day.
Theoharis said: "We are not only optimistic about the prospects for the opening up of the tourism industry, but we are also ready to welcome the arrival of the tourism season." But he particularly emphasized that epidemiological data will determine the specific date when the tourism industry opens.
In the summer of 2021, Greece has prepared a brand new travel agreement, which has been revised based on last year’s experience summaries and new methods such as rapid detection of the new coronavirus.
The revised content is as follows:
1. Passengers who want to enter Greece only need to meet one of the following three conditions: have been vaccinated against the new coronavirus and have the new coronavirus Antibody, holding a negative test report for the new coronavirus;
2. Some tourists will undergo a random rapid test for the new coronavirus; (the difference from last year is that through the rapid test for the new coronavirus, the test results will be known immediately, without the travelers having to wait one night at the designated hotel before leaving)
3. The cost of new coronavirus testing and the costs incurred during the isolation period will all be borne by the state;
4. After entering the country, passengers also need to abide by the corresponding health protection regulations together with the local people; (The same measures apply to both tourists and all citizens of Greece, including the need to wear masks, maintain social distancing, and wash hands frequently. Personal protection measures)
5.Prioritize vaccinations for staff engaged in the tourism industry, focus on strengthening the work in the tourism industry The intensity of personnel testing for the new coronavirus.
At the same time, The Greek health department will also promote a vaccination plan for Chinese citizens in Greece. It is understood that Chinese citizens living in Greece who currently have a Greek medical insurance number (AMKA), if they meet the age requirements of the Greek government for vaccinated people, can already pass the Greek government vaccination website (https:// emvolio.gov.gr/), or by sending a text message or directly to a nearby pharmacy to make a vaccination appointment; for Chinese citizens who do not have a Greek medical insurance number (AMKA), you can log on to the above website to submit after the Greek government announces the specific plan Personal information, apply for a temporary medical insurance number, and make an appointment for vaccination.
Greece is one of the top 21 high-quality tourist destinations in the world in 2021 and is expected to be 2021 Annual tourism revenue is 8 billion euros.
It is worth mentioning that CNN recently selected the 21 top quality tourist destinations in 2021, and Greece was successfully selected. In the recommendation, CNN said Greece is a spiritual, magical, mysterious, extraordinary, thrilling, and peaceful country.
In an analysis report on planned travel data in Europe for the summer of 2021 (June 1st to August 31st), Greece became the second largest tourist destination after Spain, with 14.26% of flights booked to fly Greece.
Although the epidemic has dealt a heavy blow to the global tourism industry, the tourism industry in Greece is still showing a relatively positive state. International institutions also generally give positive forecasts for Greece’s economic outlook. The World Economic Outlook report released by the OECD previously predicted that the Greek economy will gradually recover from 2021 and is expected to achieve a growth rate of 6.6% in 2022. At the beginning of the year, the Greek government predicted that Greece will achieve 8 billion euros in tourism revenue in 2021.
Greece attracts not only tourists but also a large number of investors.
Since Greece officially broke away from the European debt crisis in the past few years, Greek real estate investment can be said to be a piece of European investment immigration, even during the epidemic last year, Greek real estate has also become the first choice for safe-haven investment for some high-net-worth individuals, The price of real estate in Greece has also risen against the trend.
According to the latest data released by the Central Bank of Greece, in the fourth quarter of 2020, house prices in Greece have increased on an average year-on-year basis 2.6% strong>, while the price of new houses (houses under 5 years old) has increased 2.0%, old houses (Houses are more than 5 years old) The price increase is about 3.0%. From the data of the whole year, the average annual growth rate of new house prices in Greece in 2020 is 4.7%. The average annual price growth rate of old houses is 3.9%!
Greek real estate has not only investment attributes, but also residence status. Since the official launch of the Greek "Golden Visa Program" in 2013, it has "high return, low risk The advantage of "low threshold" stands out from the European investment immigration projects and is favored by individual investors who take the family as a unit.
I believe that with the further development of vaccination, the epidemic in Greece will also be effectively controlled, and I look forward to seeing you again.
