  According to a report by the English website of Greece's Naftemporiki on January 15, based on research by Hotel.com, Athens ranks third among the most favored European cities by Chinese tourists, following Paris and London.


  This somewhat surprising result indicates that Athens is more attractive in the eyes of Chinese tourists. Furthermore, the research shows that an increasing number of Chinese tourists are traveling to Europe, with an annual growth of 9.3%. In 2016, the number of tourists visiting Europe exceeded 10 million, and it is expected to reach 11.5 million in 2017. According to data from the Greek Ministry of Tourism and estimates from the Greek-Chinese Chamber of Commerce, the number of Chinese tourists visiting Greece in 2017 is expected to reach 170,000 to 180,000, representing a year-on-year growth of 10% to 15%.




  Among many popular tourist destinations, Greece seems to be increasingly favored by domestic tourists. The ability to attract a large number of visitors is also driven by the robust development of the tourism industry, which has spurred the rise of the investment market, making the Greek investment immigration market increasingly vibrant. Data shows that in 2017, overseas investments in Greek real estate reached 270 million euros, a 45.3% increase compared to 2015.


  The recovery of the Greek economy, the enhancement of investment potential, and the continuous development of the tourism industry have placed Greece's financial and real estate markets in an upward trend. Property prices and rents are bound to rise, and experts suggest that now is a good time to buy property, as it not only guarantees value but also offers rental income, allowing investors to earn rent while staying at home. Additionally, entire families can immigrate to Greece, obtaining permanent residency in one step!




  The new opportunities for property purchase immigration in Greece lie in the quality of life, the appreciation of investments, and the transformation of identity! After obtaining permanent residency in Greece, the children of investors can enjoy free education in Greek public schools. Moreover, Greece has a comprehensive prevention and emergency system, and its healthcare system is very well developed, providing various benefits for investment immigrants. Now is a relatively lenient time for Greek immigration policies, and the processing period is shorter and faster. The island properties launched by WorldWay Immigration come with a five-year rental guarantee and a 7% annual return, allowing investors to recover 35% of their profits in five years, which is equivalent to investing only 160,000 euros to immigrate to Greece for three generations, creating your dream of a second home abroad!
