Riots in Greece Affecting Tourism
Tourism is Greece’s second biggest industry after shipping. Greek tourism leaders believe the strike over wages by staff at the Acropolis is more detrimental to Greek’s tourism industry. The global economic crisis is posing enough of a threat for the sales of summer packages in Greece.
Protests have taken a heavy toll on Greece’s second city, Thessaloniki, where more than 2,000 bookings have been canceled in the past week. Rioters and workers continue their protest for the 10th day, Greek President Karolos Papoulias underwent an emergency surgery. He was fitted with a pacemaker Monday and is reported to be recovering well amid the unrest that has crippled Greece.
