Travel To Greece Now

all white

           I know most of you people must be thinking of that I gone mad that's why advising to all of you to travel to Greece, in this time of deep Greece crises.

Hmm okay I know that Greece is going through a tough time now and it is in deep crises and in-fact this is the one of the top reasons I am recommending traveling to Greece in this crises time. Don't always think cons, but also think pro's which you get as a tourist i this crises situation.

             Not to mention here that Greece is one of the top and most popular destination. There you will find more than 60+ inhabited islands, historic locations that span four millennia, mountain ranges which are standing in like tower in the sky, idyllic beaches and a wide variety of tourist attractions all over the Greece to explore. Despite the debt crises and also credit downgraded by many institutions, also a massive protest by people and referendum by government, even than Greece is one of the top travel destination in the list of travelers, as it has earlier.

            As Greece is going down due to financial crises, so most of the people are thinking negative about it and not thinking the other side of the coin. Now without complicating much I try to give some of the following valid reasons "why I am suggesting you must select Greece for your next trip sooner or later (specially for Indian and many Asians countries)" 

Reasons why to Travel To Greece Now

 

Travel To Greece Now - Reason : 1

        Due to so much of hoe-halla in last 3-4 weeks about Greece bankruptcy, the Euro fallen down considerably, which gives more buying power for all those countries whose economy / currency is far below the Euro exchange rates, they will get benefits & good time if they travel to EU countries, as currency conversation will make there trip less expensive compare to earlier.

Travel To Greece Now - Reason : 2

Why Greece than ?

         
        So here is the answer for that, Firstly Greece is one of the top tourist destination and very popular among foreign tourists.

       Secondly in such a time when country is go through the deep crises, than there are 100's of possibility that you will get many best offers and deals which you never heard earlier, this can happen just because everyone either it is travel company or an individually run guest houses / resto-bar, hotels etc.. all of them wants to get there hotel rooms booked and not remain vacant, same with travel packages, restaurants food, gifts, souvenirs & transportation and even air tickets also expect to see some offers flowing by airlines, so airlines cannot fly there flights empty seats to this exotic location. This all happens just to save there businesses from the crises, these small & big businesses will try all possible things to get the tourist attention back and remain continue in there country so they can survive this difficult time.

Travel To Greece Now - Reason : 3

          By traveling to the nation which is in financial crises, indirectly you are helping there economy to get back on tracks, though it is just a drop in the ocean kind of situation but than also, you are contributing in it. and please note that tourism is one of the top drivers of economy and many countries economy is running only on tourism.

Travel To Greece Now - Reason : 4

            As per my analysis and knowledge I am sure you will also get real good attention and respect in Greece as a foreigner because it is simple rule of human behavior, is that when ever the person are in difficulty they will offer there best possible respect to the person who is in better position compare to them. Besides that Greece is tourist friendly destination.

Travel To Greece Now - Reason : 5

          Greece is part of EU and it is not that easy for EU to cut there part from them and get away with it, so sooner or later help will come to there way, but yes with some real strict rules attached with it. so bailout will be around the corner.

Travel To Greece Now - Reason : 6

         If above point is correct or not, I mean in any case Greece will get the bailout package or not, but they must show there real efforts to beat this crises and in this effort you as a foreign tourist will get many benefits in terms of cheap tickets, low fares for hotel accommodations, low cost food, and low cost transportation etc..just because government will come up some plans to get the tourism on there top priority list to get as much revenue as possible to get recover from this crises, here I must mention that due to all this as a tourist you will get many offers attractions (please note that tourism is one of the top drivers of economy and many countries economy is running only on tourism).

Travel To Greece Now - Reason : 7

            But please keep one thing in mind that Greece govt. will increase taxes on existing things and also introduce some new taxes in days to come, so it is not always that everything will get cheaper, but than also many things will be cheaper compare to earlier due to fall in Euro currency on exchanges and also because people of Greece will bring down there profit margins in there businesses to get the business going and to survive and to attract as many as travelers they can, because no one wants to run a hotel with vacant rooms and no one wants to fly daily vacant flights. besides this most of the business are in debt and they need revenue to get off to there loans / debt etc.

Travel To Greece Now - Reason : 8

          All and all the travelers will get benefits of the situation for sure, I am saying it is much beneficial for tourist citizens of countries like : India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, UAE, Sri Lanka, and many such countries whose currency is much below the EURO currency, as the fall in Euro is beneficial for travelers from these countries to explore European countries in less expenses compare to earlier.

Travel To Greece Now - Reason : 9

          I know Indians tourist are one of the highest in numbers who visits Greece on holiday packages every year, so that why my call is for Indian's please note, it is good time for you to pack your bags and travel to Greece. Please note India having a big chunk of tourist who travel Greece every year, so specially for Indians if you planing a trip in near future than don't miss this opportunity and make best out of it that too in less expenses, try to crack a deal with tour tour travel agent or try to find some best deals on internet I am sure you will get some real offers.
