In an effort to gauge the likelihood of incoming tourism per country to Greece, the Greek Tourism Confederation’s (SETE) Intelligence unit has incorporated the Consumer Confidence Index (CCI) in its analytics arsenal. According to the CCI, which measures the consumer confidence citizens of countries as prospective tourists based on the OECD, visitors to Greece are more likely to come from the Czech Republic, USAm Finland, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, Holland, and to a lesser degree from Austria, Germany and Sweden. The CCI data reflects the incoming flight bookings with the exception of the UK, where despite the low CCI, citizens have a high degree of flight bookings. Slovakia recorded the highest CCI number with 102.8, while Turkey registered the higher fall in CCI with 2.3% and stands at the lowest number at 96 points. Arrivals in Greece were up by 6.9% via air for January, representing over 18,000 people. Athens International Airport constituted 43% of those, and Thessaloniki airport 57%. Arrivals in Greece via road were down by 10.8% in January 2017 compared to the same period last year. Finally sea arrivals from Italy to Greece recorded a 6.8% increase compared to January 2016.
