This document analyzes the dynamics of interethnic relations in Crimea. It discusses the ethnic diversity of Crimea, which has over 100 ethnic groups and the six most populous being Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians, Crimean Tatars, Jews, and Tatars. It provides data on the population sizes of various ethnic groups from censuses between 1970-1989, showing increases and decreases. Key factors that determine contemporary interethnic relations in Crimea are the historical formation of the population's ethnic composition, dynamics of ethnic settlement patterns, current migration trends, ethnic group constitutionalization, and interactions between the largest ethnic groups.
The Greek hospitality industry is showing signs of recovery in 2014. International tourist arrivals to Greece increased 32% in the first quarter compared to 2013, while revenue per available room (RevPAR) for Athens hotels rose 11.5%. Greek resorts also saw a significant RevPAR increase of 32.3% in Q1 2014 over the previous year. However, room rates in Athens remain 21% lower than 2008 levels. Several new hotel investments and developments are planned or underway in Greece, signaling growing investor confidence in the tourism sector and broader economic recovery. The outlook for 2014 remains positive with expectations of further occupancy and rate gains.

The document analyzes the financial viability of purchasing a $39 million capesize dry bulk carrier that would operate for 25 years. Net present value (NPV) calculations are shown for operating the vessel for both 25 years and 15 years. Operating it for 25 years yields a positive NPV of $368,557. However, operating it for only 15 years pursuant to company policy and then scrapping it yields a negative NPV of -$1,252,916, indicating a loss. Therefore, the recommendation is to reject the proposal due to the company's 15-year vessel operation limit.

The Greek tourism industry, especially in Athens, was hard hit during the economic crisis from 2007-2013. International tourist arrivals to Athens dropped sharply from 2007-2012, while other parts of Greece stabilized. This led to a loss of over €2.5 billion for the Athens hotel industry and related businesses due to fewer tourists. While tourist satisfaction in Athens remained high, concerns over unrest and strikes discouraged visits. However, Athens saw a recovery in 2013 with improved occupancy and rates, and further recovery is expected as confidence returns.
2013: Exa the performance of the athens hotel sectorGBR Consulting
The document summarizes the results of a tourist satisfaction survey conducted in Athens, Greece between July and September 2013 with 1,450 respondents. Some key findings include:
- The average age of respondents was 30-40 years old and most were travelling with a partner for pleasure and stayed an average of 4.5 nights.
- 70% visited Athens for its archaeological sites and 91% visited the Acropolis.
- 59% had a better experience than expected and 92% would recommend Athens.
- The overall assessment score was 7.8 out of 10.
International arrivals in Greece increased year-over-year in 2013, with arrivals up 14.3% in Athens and 30.5% in the rest of Greece. Revenue per available room (RevPAR) also increased across Athens, Thessaloniki, and Greek resorts. Confidence in the Greek economy is returning as 50% of Greek CEOs expect an improving economy in 2014. Tourist satisfaction in Athens and Thessaloniki remains very high. Several major Greek hotel sales were announced in 2013, including the sale of Astir Palace Resort for €400 million. The Greek tourism industry expects continued growth in 2014 with a target of 18 million international arrivals and €13 billion in revenue.
The document summarizes the expectations of the Greek hospitality sector for the first quarter and full year of 2014. For Q1 2014, hotels expect occupancy rates to increase but are cautious about room rates, which are forecast to stabilize or see slight increases. For the full year 2014, the sector anticipates significant improvements in both occupancy and room rates. City hotels expect stronger occupancy gains in Q1 than resorts, which foresee stable occupancy. Five-star hotels are optimistic for Q1 occupancy but cautious on rates, while four-star hotels see gains in both areas. Three-star hotels predict stable-to-higher occupancy but lower room rates for Q1.

The quarterly newsletter provides a snapshot of the Greek hospitality industry's performance in Q1 2013. International arrivals decreased compared to 2012, with the largest decline in Athens. RevPAR declined in Athens and Thessaloniki but increased for resort hotels. While some competitive destinations saw RevPAR increases, others like Madrid declined. The tourism sector remains optimistic for 2013 with expectations of a 10% increase in both arrivals and travel receipts. Macroeconomic data indicates Greece's economy is stabilizing.
The document summarizes the results of a survey of 158 Greek hotels on their expectations for the second quarter and full year of 2013. For Q2 2013, hoteliers overall remain optimistic about increasing occupancy rates but expect room rates to stabilize. City hoteliers anticipate slight occupancy gains but drops in room rates. Resort hotels forecast strong improvements in both occupancy and rates. The most optimistic are hotels in Crete. Two-star hotels are the most pessimistic. For 2013 as a whole, expectations are similar with occupancy increases and stable room rates overall.

The performance of the Athens hotel sectorGBR Consulting
The survey summarizes tourism trends in Athens from 2009-2012 based on surveys of over 7,000 international visitors. It finds that while international arrivals have stabilized elsewhere in Greece, Athens saw a 11% decline in 2012. Americans, Australians, and Brits paid most attention to the economic crisis but over half still visited. Greeks and Cypriots rated safety and overall satisfaction lower than foreigners. Hotel revenue declined most in lower-rated hotels. While social media use is high, most travelers are older than 30. Hoteliers forecast a difficult first quarter but stabilization in 2013 with regional differences and resilient resort areas.

The State of Athens Hotel Industry
Dr. Aris Ikkos, Managing Director
Konstantinos Pashalidis – Business Consultant
GBR Consulting, www.gbrconsulting.gr, is a firm of Strategic and Financial consultants.
Athens is the vital commercial and financial centre of Greece, situated in Attica, on the
southern tip of the Greek mainland. It covers just less than 3% of the territory of the country,
but is home to some 40% of the country’s population or about 4.5 mn people. Athens, Attica’s
capital, has some 750,000 inhabitants but daily hosts about twice that many commuters.
Ninety seven percent of the land mass of Athens is covered, giving an intensive population
density of 6,700 per square meter.
For the last decade, major efforts have been made in order to improve
the quality of life of the people living in the greater Athens area. These
efforts concern not only immense infrastructure and environmental
projects but also actions to reassess the population’s perception and
importance of the city centre in combination with the seafront, a
coastline of over 40 km. Examples of the remarkable change in the
last 7 years include:
• Athens’ extremely efficient public transport system consisting of metro, light railway, tram
and buses
• The award winning Athens International Airport “Eleftherios Venizelos”, consistently ranking
as one of the world’s top airports in terms of service and efficiency, accessible by metro in
½ hour from the city centre
• 160 km of resurfaced roads
• The unification of the entire historical city centre through pedestrian zones
• Public transportation/ Monuments accessible to people with disabilities
• Redesigned central squares and sidewalks
• Large-scale development of unspoiled or underdeveloped areas in the city centre (Eleonas,
Gazi-Cultural Quarter, Pireus Avenue-Cultural and Recreational Destrict)
• Plans for two metropolitan parks (Ellinikon-Waterfront, Goudi-City Centre)
• Plans to create more public space (parks) by putting high avenues in the city centre below
earth (Alexandra’s Avenue)
2. It goes without saying that the Olympic Games were the primary motive for the
aforementioned achievements yet the starting point of remarkable improvements mainly
as far as the mentality and the realisation of the importance of Tourism in the Greek
economy are concerned. Besides, the Athens Olympic Games 2004, being a success
story, have contributed to the strengthening of the city brand name.
ATHENS HOTEL INDUSTRY
According to the Hellenic Chamber of Hotels there are 495 hotels (all accommodation types) in
the prefecture of Attica (year 2006) with 28.694 rooms and 53.180 beds. In the table below
the numbers per category are displayed for the years 2003 – 2006:

Regarding Attiki as a whole still 64% of the total accommodations consist of 2* and below in
2006.
The category to which we turn our focus is the 5* segment. Indeed, since 2003, nine (three of
which in Athens City Centre) new hotels have opened their doors to the public demonstrating
the dynamism of the market. The 4* category also grew in the same period from 55 to 64
hotels, the 3* from 86 to 90, while 23 hotels in the 1* category and 2 hotels in the 2*
category closed down. In other words, significant supply has been added, namely 583 rooms

3. particularly in the 5* and 4* categories (1* and 2* hotels have been reduced while upscale
hotels have increased).
Furthermore, it is worth noting that the city of Piraeus, Greece’s biggest port, has shown a
very stable hotel supply in the period of 2003 – 2006. However, the City of Piraeus has only
one 5* hotel, none in the 4* category, but 8 hotels in the 3* category, 23 in the 2* category
and 7 in the 1* category.
PERFORMANCE OF ATHENS HOTELS
According to data monitored by GBR Consulting on behalf of the Athens – Attica Hotel
Association, the performance of the Athens hotel industry in the lastly recorded period is as

From the above data one could conclude that, with the exception of the Olympic month of
August 2004, it is business as usual in the Athens Hotel industry. However a closer look at the
figures reveals the steady increase in absolute figure of the RevPAR since the year 2005, which
also came about, despite the aforementioned capacity increase particularly in the 4* and 5*
The State of Athens Hotel Industry – May 2007 3/9
4. segments. It is remarkable that in May 2007 there is a major shift in the curve confirming the
optimism in the sector. This year seems to be most promising year of all times for the Athens
sector, not only in terms of RevPAR but also in Tourist Arrivals and, eventually, Occupancy.
For most hoteliers, performance improvement is translated into an improvement of the quality
of infrastructure and services provided, not an increase of capacity. No large scale new entries
are projected for the near future. However, a turn towards small boutique hotels has become
obvious the recent years. Besides, it is not a coincidencethat the majority of these hotels
prefer old, abandoned buildings in the city center, precisely in downgraded areas yet with
great potential (Ochre and Brown Hotel, Baby Grand Hotel, Art Hotel, Fresh Hotel).
THE EUROPEAN BENCHMARK
From benchmarking the performance of Athens (categories 3*, 4* and 5*) with a number of
key city destinations, namely Vienna, London, Paris, Berlin, Munchen, Rome, Amsterdam,
Barcelona, Madrid and Istanbul, it is clearly demonstrated that the change in the RevPAR in
the Athens Hotel Industry has faced great fluctuations which is mainly due to the pre- and the
post- Olympic era. Indeed, it can be seen that in 2004 the change surpassed all European
cities reaching 48% whereas the drop in the year 2005 practically reversed all benefits from
previous years, showing a strong recovery in 2006 and the first months of 2007. Therefore,
examining the trend throughout the last 4 years it can be stated that it maintains a rather
stable increase of 4% to 5%, compared to other historic cities such as Rome and Istanbul
which have shown increase in the past but are facing constant decrease during the last 4 years
under examination.

THE CASE OF THE 5* HOTELS
The upscale category in the Athens Hotel Industry has experienced a unique development.
Throughout the years 2003 – 2006 nine 5* hotels have opened their doors: Athens Imperial,
King George, Plaza Resort, Holiday Inn Attika Avenue, Life Gallery, Cape Sounion and Athina
Grand Hotel. In Graph 4 below one can observe the substantial increase of Athens RevPAR as
far as the upscale market is concerned, compared to last year’s results. It becomes obvious
this year is quite promising not only to last year but to what has Athens ever experienced
before. Yet the complete picture is still to be seen in 6 months from now.

6. OUTLOOK
The successful staging of the Olympic Games has vastly improved the country’s attractiveness
as a destination in general, yet the impact in terms of arrivals and overnights in the City of
Athens, as a destination and not as a transit city, is slowly emerging. Athens has much to
offer. With its ‘redesigned’ city, its unique archaeological sites, beautiful islands within 1 hour’s
reach, its clean beaches (EU ‘Blue Flag’ carriers), extensive shopping (the first large-scale
shopping mall opened just 2 years ago and two more are opening their doors this year),
vibrant night life and much more, the city has everything to become a top city break
destination. The city organized in June the City Break Expo 2007 demonstrating its persistence
in gaining valuable knowledge for improvement. However, there are still a lot to be done as far
as a proper Marketing strategy is concerned in order to attract the ever increasing number of
city breakers.
LOW COST CARRIERS
Low cost airlines are incorporating Athens in their expansion strategy even though Athens
International Airport ranks amongst the most expensive in terms of taxes within Europe.
Despite the fact that the Airport counts 20 low cost carriers (37 to all Greek airports)
connecting Athens with mainly Continental Europe, and a very restricted number of cities in
the Middle East and Northern Africa, such as Egypt, Tunisia and Morocco, airlines are now
showing interest in connecting the city of Athens with major European cities. It is not
surprising that EasyJet launched a new flight connection with Paris just in the year 2006.
Furthermore, new routes were added at Athens airport to the USA and a direct flight to Beijing
will start in autumn 2007. This will boost incoming tourists from USA as well as from China, an
immense and promising market.
NEW ATHENS METROPOLITAN CONVENTION CENTRE
An issue of great concern has been the way of taking advantage of the infrastructure, such
stadiums and training halls, built for the Olympic Games in 2004. Indeed, many of them have
retained their initial use boosting cultural and sports activity on a regional as well as
International level, whereas others have undergone immense changes in order to enhance
local economy meeting most of times the market needs. A great example is the NBC which
served for the broadcasting of the Olympic Games which is now being transformed into a
large-scale shopping mall. Another bright example of the macro-economic shift in the Athens
Tourism industry is the New Athens Metropoitan Convention Centre. The Olympic Tae Kwon Do
indoor stadium at Palio Faliro is being turned into the Athens Metropolitan Convention Centre
through a public / private partnership (PPP) scheme.
GBR Consulting in cooperation with the
architect of the stadium, Thymio Papayannis
and Associates, conducted the feasibility
study of the scheme: The Conference
Centre will have a total indoor available
area of 28,000 m2 on three levels hosting a
variety of events in the main auditorium of
3000 pax, two smaller auditoria of 450 pax,
other rooms of 2100 pax and an exhibition
space of 110,500 ft2. It is estimated that
the centre can host 85 events in its first
year (including 4 major international
conferences) attracting about 70,000 attendants and reach more than 200 events with
160,000 attendants in year 5.

7. The government’s private partner for the convention centre is in the process of selecting an
international tender and will undertake the provision of all necessary maintenance work and
management functions for 25 years. Reconstruction and maintenance over this period is
estimated at 56 million euros.
TRANSFORMATION OF THE CITY CENTRE AND THE WATER FRONT
As aforementioned, the post Olympic era has revealed
the huge opportunities that unspoiled pieces of land could
offer as far the image of the city and the quality of living of
the Athenians are concerned.
Indeed, the greater region of Faliron, the region where the
Convention Centre is also being developed, will host the
new Opera house and the new National Library.
Both buildings will cover more than 30.000 m2 of 200.000 m2 of the total area, whereas the
rest of the space with become a park. It has to be mentioned that this new development is
next to the Faliron Marina and just 4.5 km from the city centre. Furthermore, the
Administration of Attica prefecture in cooperation with the Ministry of Tourism and the Ministry
of Public Infrastructure and Development are putting forward a plan of unifying the entire
coast line, creating a pedestrian zone with bicycle lanes of 42 km. This zone will connect Pireus
port with all Athens suburbs on the coast, the Metropolitan Convention Centre, the National
Library, the Opera Theatre, several marinas, the Ellinikon Metropolitan Park (a park which is
planned to be developed in a total area of 5.3 million m2 where the old Athens airport used to
be), and all that with the Athens Unified Archaeological Sites Pedestrian Zone.
ATHENS HOTEL FACE LIFT
The shift in the Athens Hotel Industry becomes obvious by the several
transactions and renovation projects which were kick-started by the
Olympic Games. The total renovation budget of Athens Hotels
exceeded Euro 1 bn.
Besides the renovation in almost all the upscale hotels, such as
Grande Bretagne, Hilton , Marriott, King George II, the most striking
case is that of Astir Palace Hotel Complex Resort (3 hotels, over 500
rooms). In July 2006 Starwood Hotels & Resorts took over the
management of the resort and the initial estimate for the entire
renovation and construction works amounts to approximately 45
million euros.
GREECE IN FIGURES
Greece has benefited from the hosting of the Olympic Games in Athens in 2004. This becomes
obvious from the several optimistic forecasts published by International Organisations
including the WTTC, the WTO etc. Indeed, facts speak louder than words, demonstrating the
turn in the Greek market in terms of Tourist Arrivals but most important in terms of Tourism
receipts generating in 2005 US$13.7 bn from US$9.7 bn in the year 2002. Besides, Greece
ranks 15th worldwide in 2006 as far as revenue per tourist is concerned, with Euro 1,073 per
tourist. The latter shows clearly the fact that Greece is not anymore considered a low-budget
tourism destination but a modern country with a unique tourism product and high quality of
infrastructure and services provided.
