UK Tourists Shunning Greece?

That's what the article says.

You wouldn't think so, looking around.

In fact, the outlook is now looking positive.

Very positive, according to local newspaper Enimerosi (20 June) in its headline "35,283 English Tourists Arrived" (by plane, in the first two weeks of June, 2012). 26, 211 in the same two weeks last year

An increase of 13.19% of foreign tourist arrivals (not just British) by plane at Corfu airport in the first 15 days of June, ie 73,020 tourists during this fifteen day period in 2012 against 64,508 in the same period in 2011.

As far as the Brits are concerned, a 34.6% increase in British arrivals in the same two week period in 2012, compared to the same fortnight in 2011

No more crocodile tears, please. The Guardian is a little behind the times (22 June)
