A report in the Haniotika Nea says the financial crisis is affecting tourism and contributing
to reducing the number of arrivals in Greece and the prefecture of Chania.
The number of tourist arrivals in the prefecture of Chania in the first half of 2010 was
down by approximately 5.65% over the same period of 2009, according to the
Department of Economics and Management at the Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of
Chania (MAICh) in collaboration with the Department of Financial Management, Technical
University of Crete.
Making a comparison between the first half of 2010 with the corresponding quarter of
2009, for the seven major nationalities who visited the prefecture of Chania, they
observed that there is a decrease in arrivals of all nationalities.
Of the Nordic countries, Norway and Sweden have remained about the same level as last
year, while Denmark and Finland were down by close to 6%.
The biggest fall is seen amongst tourists from England, with a reduction of 21.75%.
Meanwhile the Germans continue to reduce their visits to Chania, marking a drop of
57.5% over the first half of 2007, but these comparisons are only for the months of May
and June, as the Germans begin to visit Chania from May onwards.
In the prefecture of Iraklion arrivals of foreign visitors for the first half of 2010 at
Heraklion Airport declined by around 5.14%.
Making a comparison between the first half of 2010 with the corresponding quarter of
2009, on the main nationalities visiting the prefecture of Heraklion, there was a decrease
in arrivals from most nationalities. But Russian arrivals showed a very significant increase
of about 61.72%, climbing to fourth place ahead of the Dutch.
