New edition of Astbooks: "Tourism Businesses 2026: Tax, Accounting, and Insurance Approach." Greek tourism continues to confirm its international momentum, consistently ranking high in the quality of services provided. According to recent data from INSETE for 2025, Greece maintains its first place among key competitive destinations in the Mediterranean, with a customer satisfaction index (GRI) at 87%.
This superiority is primarily due to hospitality, service quality, and cleanliness, while the overall visitor experience is reflected in the significantly higher number of positive reviews compared to negative ones. At the same time, challenges such as value-for-money and infrastructure management during peak periods are highlighted, making continuous sector adaptation essential.
In this environment, understanding the tax, accounting, and insurance framework becomes crucial for the sustainable development of tourism businesses. For this reason, the Astbooks Scientific Team has prepared a new, updated edition concerning the tax, accounting, and insurance treatment of various types of tourism enterprises.
