EDITORIAL

Dealing with the new terror Greece's image abroad has been hit by the re-emergence of local terrorist groups and the spectacular rise in crime. The country's economy, which is largely dependent on the tourism industry, would be the first casualty of this - and, more alarming, at a time that financial meltdown is sweeping markets across the globe. The conservative government must take swift action to prevent any further damage. The first thing Greece must do is to mobilize its foreign partners.

EDITORIAL:AthensPlus

Tourism and the citizen Concern over a possible drop in the number of visitors coming to Greece this year centers on the two aspects that determine the flow of tourists: the economy in visitors' countries and the destination's image. On both fronts, Greece faces serious challenges. The problems that British citizens, for example, will face from the plunging value of the pound and their own worsening economy are ringing alarm bells in Greece, where tourism is a mainstay of the economy and Britons are a pillar of tourism.
