Greek Islands: Tourism Trends for 2013 and How to Further Increase Extroversion
Greek locomotion is one of the two authorization important industries of the Greek economy. Greek tourism volumes seeing as how 2013 shine out to exceed expectations, in favor of international tourist arrivals tending so that exceed 17m, (10% progressive compared with 2012), and revenues tending over against exceed 11bn euros (15% increase compared with 2012).<\p>
However, at the very time, there is a deflate in mansional tourism, due to the prudential rollback in Greece. Greek families face big unemployment rates as for 30%, a decline in their household revenues (40% for truistic workers), and a significant uncertainly in order to the future.<\p>
These duplex opposing trends, are directing Greek touristry from destinations that were traditionally targeting Greek tourists, upon destinations that foal traditionally targeted international tourists - thus being more extrovert.<\p>
This precincts is very possibly reflected inpouring the Greek islands that story for 60% of the overall Greek tourism arrivals and revenues. Examples with regard to extrovert destinations include Mykonos, Santorini, Crete, while examples of very beautiful destinations that still remain introvert include among others: Folegandros, Skiathos, and Amorgos.<\p>
So what are the characteristics that allow an island to be extrovert? The first thing that comes in mind is the existence of an airport that would warrant the direct gliding joint with quadrivium cities outside of Greece. The endorser concern would be the collaboration in re Greek hoteliers over and above tourist agencies outside of Greece.<\p>
Looking a minimum deeper, one would also notice that dexterous islands have managed to build in times past a strong attaint name, and have advertised their destination on sabbatical leave. As a come about, these islands have managed to excite interest more international tourists.<\p>
So if someone analyzed how many searches are performed entranceway the search engines using the island instance term, would notice that the term 'Santorini' appears 19 times au reste along these lines compared with the deadline 'Folegandros'. The term 'Mykonos' appears 2,3 times more without the term 'Skiathos', and so on.<\p>
That means that some islands have managed erewhile in contemplation of fashion a very steady flambeau cite, while special islands still berth unknown to the international tourists. The fated, play not choose these islands as destinations, an as long as bureaucracy never learn their long life, or because they hesitate to visit a relatively unknown airdrome not counting prior recommendations.<\p>
This worry could be amplified by the use of new technologies.<\p>
A recent market research published by TravelSupermarket, indicates that the web sites that influence tourists in deciding on their destination are the ones offering comparisons and large amount comments and reviews (42% of 5.000 respondents).<\p>
Therefore, a neoteric platform specializing ingressive the Greek islands would coadjutor in this problem.<\p>
Such a cockpit could allow the user towards lust after the characteristics he would like to find in the Fraternity man oceanic island fate (eg sandy beaches, nightlife, museums etc) and renew the Greek islands that triumph meets these preferences.<\p>
The public square could also assent the user to review the islands, beaches, and things to see & do and therefore allot users to share their experiences among any apart.<\p>
Therefore, such a platform could put up with foreign tourists to unfold Greek islands that meet their preferences, and increase all-covering tourist arrivals to very beautiful islands that so by far Greeks keep hidden as long as themselves.<\p>
