Another tourist found dead in Greece amid heat wave
STORY: The Greek island of Corfu draws flocks of tourists in the summertime, many of them opting to hike dusty mountain trails in search of secluded beaches on the shores of the Ionian Sea.But a period of unusually hot weather is prompting new concerns for safety. On Monday, police said a 55-year-old American was found dead on the Island of Mathraki -- the third tourist death in a week.:: June 6, 2024British TV presenter Michael Mosley went missing on the Aegean island Symi earlier in June, prompting a search by helicopters, dogs, and drones. His body was found on June 9.He had taken a walk, alone, in high temperatures before he disappeared.A 74-year-old Dutch tourist was found dead on the island of Samos on Saturday and two hikers were found dead on Crete on June 5.Visitors here on Corfu told Reuters they understood the risks, and took precautions."It's very dangerous to walk in the sun, but you need to put sunscreen and drink lots of water to stay safe.""The heat also is very, very hot, with the sun like today, and I have learned that one man died because of this heat."Temperatures soared above 104 degrees Fahrenheit earlier this month, just as the holiday season began across Greece's remote beaches, ancient sites and mountain trails.Ioanna Fotopoulou is a coordinator with the Hellenic Red Cross, and said many visitors on vacation didn't appreciate the risks:“They (tourists) all get carried away, they are enthusiastic, they have a lot of confidence in their physical condition, they believe that if they are fit, if they don’t take medicine, if they don’t have any illness they can go beyond their limits, many times they test their limits.”Rescue teams were still searching for three others who have gone missing in Greece amid the high temperatures: two French women, aged 73 and 64, on the island of Sikinos, and a 59-year-old U.S. policeman on the island of Amorgos.

China travel rebound flags amid costs, visa snags
STORY: Chinese travellers were supposed to get back in the air, and back in the shops, after the the end of lockdowns. But the signs are that a travel rebound is fading away, and that’s bad news for tourism businesses everywhere. Eighteen months after China reopened its borders, travel numbers are well behind market expectations. Last year saw Chinese people take 87 million trips abroad - that’s still down 40% on the pre-COVID era. UN data show they spent 24% less than in 2019, while spending by U.S. travelers was up 14%. It’s all a concern for holiday firms and retailers, with Chinese travelers the world’s top spenders on international tourism and airlines. Popular destinations for the country’s tourists - like France, Australia and the U.S. - may feel a particular hit. A decline in the value of China’s yuan currency is one factor, as it makes overseas travel more costly. High unemployment and a sluggish economy have also cut spending power. All that may have pushed people towards domestic travel, which has boomed even as international demand proved weak. Chinese travelers also complain of the time and difficulty in getting visas for some destinations, particularly in Europe.That leaves the number of them traveling to France at barely more than a quarter of pre-health crisis levels. Capacity on air routes to the U.S. remains down 80%, with political tensions not helping either.By contrast, countries that offer visa-free access - including Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand - have seen rising demand. Japan has also seen a surge, helped by a weak yen that makes it a more affordable destination.
