Athens - Hotels in Greece have seen a collapse in last-minute bookings, which are down 50 000 a day.

And some hotels only have enough food and drink to last another ten days as bank closures make paying suppliers difficult, according to the Association of Greek Tourism Enterprises.

Last-minute bookings account for 20 percent of tourist traffic and the biggest drop is from Greeks themselves at close to 50 percent. Mr Andreadis said: “We are concerned and we in the tourism industry do hope there will be a deal with our EU partners.”
