According to Greek media reports, with the online payment platform Alipay set to be available in Greece this summer, China is aiming for a tenfold increase in the number of Chinese tourists visiting Greece.
In China, Alipay is the primary payment method for daily transactions, holding a 60% market share. This payment platform will be launched in Greece before the summer tourist season, with the first phase involving partnerships with 20 Greek companies, including the Folli Follie Group, which is listed on the Athens Stock Exchange. This means that in the future, Chinese tourists in Greece will be able to use online payments for part of their spending, and eventually at tourist attractions, cultural sites, restaurants, and shops.
With Alipay set to launch in Greece, it is believed that the number of Chinese visitors will increase exponentially. Coupled with Greece's unique natural conditions, beaches, sunshine, and rich cultural heritage, Greece is poised to attract more visitors. According to data released by the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC), the number of tourists visiting Greece has significantly increased, with an estimated 26.06 million foreign tourists expected to visit Greece in 2017, and this number is projected to surge in the next decade!
Additionally, China's current "Belt and Road" development strategy positions Greece as a crucial strategic location, serving as a gateway for Chinese capital entering Europe. Under the guidance of the "going out" and "Belt and Road" strategies, it is conceivable that Greece's investment prospects are immense, and astute investors have already begun to take action. It can be said that now is the golden period for investment immigration to Greece.
Experts from WorldWay Immigration indicate that property prices in Greece are currently at a relatively historical low. In light of Brexit, the euro exchange rate has seen a certain decline, making it an opportune time for investors to capitalize on Greek real estate. By purchasing property worth €250,000 in Greece, investors can quickly apply for Greek immigration for their entire family. From an investment perspective, as the European economy recovers, both the exchange rate and property prices are expected to rise, leading to a dual appreciation for investors!
