In December 2025, Greece's travel revenues rose by 33%, totaling €623 million compared to €468.6 million in December 2024. This significant increase is attributed to a 49% rise in incoming travel traffic, even as the average spending per trip decreased by 10.6%. The data provided by the Bank of Greece highlights the growing importance of travel services in balancing the country's economic accounts, especially in light of merchandise trade deficits.

The Bank of Greece reported that travel services net receipts offset 8.8% of the goods balance deficit and constituted 75.2% of the total net receipts from various services. Furthermore, the travel balance registered a surplus of €20.25 billion in 2025, which shows a substantial increase from €18.78 billion in 2024, indicating that tourism continues to be a vital part of Greece's economy, providing essential income and supporting the national balance of payments.

Additionally, the report pointed out a notable 10.9% increase in receipts from residents of EU-27 countries, amounting to €295.1 million. Other countries also experienced similar growth, reinforcing the positive trend in tourism and travel services. This momentum suggests that Greece remains a popular destination, with expectations for continued growth in travel revenues in the coming years, projecting a +9.4% growth rate for 2025 overall, reflecting the resilience of the tourism sector post-pandemic.
