Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/083b60/tourist_and_travel) has
announced the addition of ICAP Group's new report "Tourist and Travel Agencies
in Greece 2008" to their offering. 

This study considers the tourist and travel agencies sector, focusing especially
on inbound, domestic and outbound tourism companies. The sector under assessment
is a considerably significant component of the Greek tourist industry, which has
proven to be perhaps the most valuable capital for the development of the
national economy. 

The total size of the Greek service sector of tourist - travel agencies has been
on the rise over the past three years (2005-2007). The study examines the
tourist - travel agency sector (inbound, domestic and outbound tourism), how it
is progressing and the prospects on it. As regards inbound tourism, foreign
tourists are the main clients of travel agencies, visiting our country on
vacation mostly during the summer period. Domestic and outbound tourism services
are mainly provided to Greeks, who either travel within the country or visit
destinations abroad. 

According to the study, the sector of tourist-travel agencies comprises a
significant number of companies (market sources say they are over 4,000) which
differ among them in terms of size and to the extent to which they provide the
various tourist services. The main activity of most sector companies is inbound
tourism yet they also offer related services (ticket issue, etc.). The sector is
made up of large-sized companies- many of which represent large international
agencies-, medium-sized companies and, predominantly, small-sized companies.
