Some €120 million in tips is estimated that tourists visiting Greece this summer will leave during their stay, an amount determined by taking into account that 50% of international travelers will leave at least 10 euros to the employees that will serve them, reports “Kathimerini”. This means that for every 1 million, more or less, tourists who visit the country each year, the total amount of tips in the tourist sector can be increased or decreased by 5 million euros. Adding gratuities left by Greeks, this resource may even be higher. Americans and Germans, mainly, appear to be more “generous” in their tips.  According to a relevant research conducted by an international travel agency, 3 out of 5 American tourists and 1 out of 2 Germans choose to leave tips. Commenting on the research’s results, the President of the Hellenic Federation of Hoteliers Yiannis Retsos, said that it is obvious that the income of employees is increased during the good years for tourism, while in years with a drop in tourism traffic, revenues fall short. According to Retsos, for every 1 million additional visitors in Greece, 50,000 more jobs in tourism are created.
