We do not have a crystal ball, however there is enough data available that reveal hotel trends based on economic relationships.

Impact of COVID-19 on Greek Tourism: Industry Experts’ Opinion
Gelina Kordoni | May 26, 2020
By Gelina Kordoni, Themis Trakas The Greek hotel industry is bruising, as it has been forced to a grinding halt. However, even on a dauntless note during such times, the hospitality industry is characterized by its resilience to perform and navigate itself through enhanced novel strategies. Finding itself in an advantageous position compared to other European destinations, Greece has gained positive momentum considering the proactiveness it showed in keeping the virus spread under control. Now this might give a sense of gloom and doom, but it all depends on the spectrum of external factors influencing travel down the road. After the fi
