British tourists still banking on greece

Greece has dominated media headlines around the world, as the country appears to move closer and closer to a possible exit from the eurozone. While the government has placed a €60 limit on daily ATM withdrawals for locals, though, tourists are still banking on the country for a cheap getaway.

According to Skyscanner, enquiries for the week in which the banking cap was introduced (overseas visitors are exempt) climbed 12 per cent year-on-year and 16 per cent week-on-week.

Trivago also report that searches for Greek hotels in June were 15 per cent higher than in May.

"It is encouraging to see that travel interest to Greece as a whole remains relatively unchanged and has even increased over the past month," a spokeswoman told The Telegraph. "Searches to Crete, for example, have increased both month-over-month and year-over-year and the island will no doubt benefit from the influx of tourists this summer."

The popularity of Greece among Brits does not just end with tourists, though: overseas investors also appear to be undeterred by the ongoing bailout negotiations. While many demand for many European destinations fell in June 2015 on TheMoveChannel.com, Greece climbed one place in the portal's Top of the Props chart to become the 16th most popular country in the world.
