News Posted On: 08 May 2009
Investors looking to buy property in Europe might find that Greece offers a number of attractions.
Ionnis Korinis, president of the Greek National Tourism Organisation has revealed that the country is aiming to attract more guests from the Middle East in the future, reports Travel Daily News.
It hopes to do this by highlighting the beautiful "natural assets" of the nation as well as the potential to indulge in luxury city breaks.
He commented: "Greece is a traditional tourist destination and we strongly believe we have a unique product to sell to the world."
This news could be welcomed by potential holiday home buyers who want to ensure that there is a strong rental market for their property when they are not occupying it.
With 20 per cent of the gross domestic product coming from the tourist trade, Greece could be a fantastic investment opportunity.
Data unveiled by the Chair of the Institute of Tourism Analysis and Estimates revealed that about 11,000 visitors from Bulgaria have travelled to Greece between May 1st and 6th.
