Greece’s economic contraction this year will be less than forecast as tourism reaches a record and 2014 will see growth, Prime Minister Antonis Samaras said.
“This year the recession will be shallower than forecast with tourism seeing a record year as visitor numbers are expected to reach or even surpass 18 million, the first time so many tourists were seen in Greece,” Samaras said in a speech today in the northern port city of Thessaloniki.
