Tourism in Greece
Tourism in Greece has been a key element of the economic activity in the country, and is one of the country's most important sectors. Greece has been a major destination and attraction since antiquity, for its rich history, as well as for its long coastline, many islands and beaches.〔(''Greece'' ) by Paul Hellander, Kate Armstrong, Michael Clark, Des Hannigan〕 Greece is projected to attract 26 million visitors in 2015 () () contributing 18% to the nation's Gross Domestic Product,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=For a Sustainable Tourism Industry )〕 with its capital city Athens, as well as Santorini, Myconos, Rhodes, Corfu and Crete being some of the country's major tourist destinations.
==History==
Tourism in Greece traces its roots to the ancient times. Cultural exchange took place between the Greek colonies of Magna Graeca and the young Roman Republic before Rome's rise to dominance of the Western Mediterranean. When Greece was annexed by the Roman Empire centuries later, the cultural exchange that started between the two civilization triggered as a result a large number of Romans visiting the famous centers of Greek philosophy and science, such as Athens, Corinth and Thebes, partly because Greece had become a province of the Roman Empire and Greeks were granted Roman citizenship.
Tourism in modern-day Greece started to flourish in the 1960s and 1970s, in what became known as mass tourism.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Greece Tourism: Information about tourism in Greece and the Greek Islands )〕 During that time, large-scale construction projects for hotels and other such facilities were undertaken and the country saw an increase in international tourists over the years.〔 International events such as the 2004 Summer Olympic Games and the Eurovision Song Contest 2006, both held in Athens, greatly helped to boost tourism in the country, while large-scale nationally-funded cultural infrastructure such as the New Acropolis Museum also contributed to the flow of tourists in the country. Thessaloniki will be European youth capital in 2014.
