This global socio-economic situation, since 2010, has exerted additional pressure on the mental health and physical condition of people who are increasingly looking for new ways of relaxation and rejuvenation. The present study aims to investigate the impact of the current socio-economic crisis on the behavior and attitude of Greek wellness tourists. Quantitative research was conducted using a structured questionnaire on a sample size of 452 wellness tourists in totally 10 spas at Crete, Kos, Lefkada and Thessaloniki. The survey compared the spending behavior of respondents before 2010 and today. The findings of the survey show that although the behavior of Greeks as consumers is being negatively affected by the economic downturn, there is positive intention to continue using and spending on wellness services. In addition, results indicate the existence of positive attitude towards wellness tourism as a means of health promotion and enhancement. Proposals for further research are suggested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keywords: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wellness tourism, consumer behavior, socio-economic crisis<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>JEL Classification:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A14, H12<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jthsm.gr\/?page_id=1022\">&lt; Previous article in Vol. 4, Iss. 2<\/a><span class=\"has-inline-color has-white-color\">aaaaaaaaaaa<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jthsm.gr\/?page_id=1029\">Next article in Vol. 4, Iss. 2 ><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"has-inline-color has-white-color\">a<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&lt; Back to Volume 4, Issue 2, table of contents a Study on The Impact of Socio-Economic Crisis on Greek Wellness Tourists\u2019 Spending Behavior Tavlikou A.
