Greek hotels association warns tourism is hit
Monday June 29, 2015 (16:18)

Greece's hotels association has issued a statement warning that Greece's move to limit money withdrawals is already having an impact on the vital tourism industry.

The Hellenic Chamber of Hotels said: "These recent developments in our country already have immediate, real negative consequences on tourism. All must understand this."

"We wish and hope that all political forces will assume their responsibilities, restoring the country as quickly as possible to normality and stability, which are absolutely essential requirements to protect Greek tourism and to support one more time the national recovery effort of the Greek economy."

The hotel association says it is working with other tourist industry bodies to "safeguard the country's international image and to deal with any instances of exploitation of the current situation."
