Mama Mia effect boosts Skopelos, but coupons also help

Many holiday destinations in Greece are struggling because of the international financial crisis. Latest figures suggest the lack of visitors could push the country into recession.
But one island is reporting its best season in years thanks to whats become known as the Mama Mia effect.
Its the island of Skopelos, where most of the smash hit summer movie of last year was filmed.
But as Malcolm Brabant reports from Skopelos, the islands success is not all it seems.

Mr Brabant, Tourism in Greece increased in 2009 by 6%, despite the negative climate you want to create. Especially from Russia, Germany, Italy, UK, France. No matter what bad things you are told to say about Greece, UK teens will still love Greece to spend their holidays because they love drinking, having sex, paying nothing to do so, and without being chased by the police!! Teens from Britain, WELCOME HTO GREECE and HAVE FUN as always!!!
