Athens Mayor Warns Against Overtourism With 8 Million Annual Visitors

Athens Mayor Haris Doukas warns the capital faces over-saturation from tourism, with 8 million tourists annually overwhelming 700,000 residents. He claims uncontrolled tourist development threatens neighborhood authenticity and pushes locals out. This tourism warning could weigh on EUR pairs as Greece's tourism sector represents significant GDP contribution. Reduced tourism growth expectations may impact broader eurozone economic sentiment.
