Tourism provides third of Greek GDP, most jobs
One in three euros that Greece earns each year comes from tourism, demonstrating the Greek economy’s dependence on the sector. https://www.ekathimerini.com/economy/1236326/tourism-provides-third-of-greek-gdp-most-jobs/Recent headlines along the lines "Greece demands no more tourism" are very misleading. The government and tourism professionals want more, more, more every year. The people who don't want tourism are those who can't afford the high rents caused by AirBnB and those whose neighbourhoods have become caricatures of communities.
