Tourism in Greece is in a difficult situation
The Greek Government announced two days ago the creation of a crisis committee, immediately after visitors from around the world canceled thousands of hotel resevations, reports the AFP.
Athens Hoteliers Association has announced that almost 20,000 reservations were canceled at hotels in the capital and its environments.
“After the massive cancellations of reservations, a crisis committee headed by the Greek Tourism Organisation was created,” said government spokesman.
He estimated that recent cancellations have caused a loss of millions of euros.
Resevations were canceled after the violences which resulted in three deaths during the riots of May 5th against the austerity plan of the Greek Government.
