Summer 2022 and increase of tourism in our country, according to predictions.
Once again, Greece is one of the top destinations for many tourists to spend their summer. Athens and Mykonos see huge increase in their bookings, almost 100% compared to the summer of 2021. Specifically, the Greek Prime Minister stressed that “we expect a very good tourist season this year from the beginning”. For his part, the head of TUI estimated that the arrivals from TUI in 2022 are estimated at around 3 million Customers compared to 1.5 million Customers in 2021. In case this happens, these prices will exceed in the summer. “fire” as it was characterized in 2019.
Many hotels and Airbnb accommodation in all of Greece have completeness at levels up to 70% from the middle of winter. As a result, many are turning to Airbnb real estate investments for short-term leases. Short-term real estate leases have already begun to return to the preferences of many investors as well as property owners, following a major downturn in the world due to the covid-19 pandemic. The exploitation of the property as an investment for short-term lease is a very profitable action in relation to the rent, especially for a country like Greece with intense tourist activity. Income that can be obtained by property owners from short-term lease, is exempt from VAT and income tax is the same as that of real estate. This is another reason why many people, especially in a city with intense tourist activity, turn to such an investment.
