This thesis was designed to present the current state of cruise tourism in Greece and to
examine the prospects for the industry. The Cruise industry is one of the most rapidly
developing industries worldwide, with double the development rate than that of
tourism. Over the past few years the Cruise came to the centre of the financial interest
for Greece and is considered to be the business activity which can attract funds from
abroad and constitute a significant source of development within the country. Many
are the people, in fact, who consider the Cruise as the comparative advantage of our
country directly linked with its historic presence and geographical position.
In Greece, the Cruise sector faces problems stemming from mainly due to the lack of
appropriate infrastructure, a dysfunctional and bureaucratic framework, but also an
insufficiency of the state mechanism.
The benefits deriving from the cruise for the Greek economy are undoubtedly
significant. The potential and the perspective that the Cruise sector creates for the
Greek economy will be analyzed in the fifth chapter of this project. At the same time
the initiative necessary to resolve the problems that the sector faces today are to be
defined, so that the Greek economy can significantly benefit from it.
