The tourism season is beginning with bookings under pressure and businesses on standby.
Small and medium-sized enterprises on the islands are entering the tourist season without a clear outlook. Operating costs are rising, demand is showing fluctuations, and uncertainty is intensifying.
The key question is clear:
How can market sustainability be ensured under these conditions?
Immediate actions are required:
• Agreements with airlines to maintain routes
• Liquidity support for small and medium-sized enterprises
• An operational plan to manage a potential decline in demand
On the islands, the pace of the season is determined from the very beginning.
Timely intervention is a prerequisite for stability in the Greek economy.
