In 2025, the balance of travel services showed a surplus of €20.25 billion, up from a surplus of €18.79 billion in 2024.
According to the Bank of Greece, travel receipts rose by €2.03 billion, or 9.4%, to €23.62 billion, while travel payments also increased by €565.5 million, or 20.2%, to €3.37 billion.
The rise in travel receipts was driven by a 5.6% increase in inbound traveler flows and a 3.8% rise in average expenditure per trip. Net travel receipts offset 59.9% of the goods deficit and contributed 89% to total net receipts from services.
BoG attributed the rise in travel receipts to increases from EU-27 residents by 6.1% to €12 billion and from residents of other countries by 14.7% to €9.89 billion.
Receipts from euro area residents rose by 4% to €9.85 billion and receipts from residents of non-euro area EU-27 countries increased by 14.1% to €2.84 billion.
