**Greek Imports of Travel Goods Rise Amid Summer Demand**
**Greece Sees Boost in Luxury Bag Imports Ahead of Tourist Season**
• Greek imports of travel goods rose by 4.5% in June compared to the same month last year.
• The increase is attributed to growing demand for luxury bags and cases ahead of the summer tourist season.
• Shipments from major suppliers Italy and China contributed significantly to the growth.
Greek imports of high-end bags, cases, and travel accessories have seen a modest uptick in June as consumers prepare for their summer vacations. Industry insiders attribute this trend to an increase in discretionary spending on premium goods. As Greece expects a surge in tourist arrivals, demand for luxury travel items is likely to remain robust through the peak season.
