Greek Economic Recovery Dazzles

According to Moody’s Analytics, the Greek economy has already returned to pre-pandemic levels, a fact which places Greece among the seven eurozone countries in full recovery in terms of real GDP.  Moody’s Analytics expected Greece’s GDP will rise up to 8.2% for 2021 whereas EU institutions have adjusted their forecasts to a minimum of 7%.  At the same time, DBRS Morningstar upgraded Greece’s credit rating to “BB” from “BB (low)” and changed its trend rating from “Stable” to “Positive”.

TRAVEL

2 HOTELS

Explosive growth for hotel investments

Property market officials and hospitality consultants said they expect a bump in investments in the second half of 2021 in the Greek Hotel market, as the tourism and hospitality sector have overcome the pandemic’s impact and uncertainties gradually recede.
A great interest is spotted in the full renovation of hotels in the Greek capital, in fact, several four-star hotels have been inaugurated at the broader area of Syntagma Square and Omonia Square, as well as at Ermou Street, Theatrou Square, Plaka and other locations. Furthermore, hospitality giants such as France’s Accor Group and China’s Fosun Tourism Group plan to expand their presence in the country, the latter in particular after its acquisition of Thomas Cook.
