Greece Tackles Tourism Growth, Preserves Unique Sites
Greece, heavily reliant on tourism, is managing its growth while preserving unique locations. The government is addressing housing crises and tourism pressure by limiting Airbnb and short-term rental licenses in cities like Thessaloniki, Chania, Santorini, Paros, and Chalkidiki. They support sustainable enterprises by modernizing water and wastewater systems. However, concerns persist about uncontrolled development in popular tourist areas such as Santorini and Mykonos.
To ensure sustainable tourism growth, Greece is strengthening infrastructure and enforcing rules. In the cruise sector, improvements have been made to infrastructure and enforcement. Without these measures, Greece could face issues similar to leading destinations in Southern Europe.
Tourism, a major industry that helped Greece during its debt crisis, now faces challenges of growth and preservation. The government's efforts to limit short-term rentals, support sustainable enterprises, and improve infrastructure enforcement aim to maintain social balance while growing the industry. Success will depend on effective planning and decision-making.
