Claim 1: “their numbers reached 38 million, setting a new record.”
DISPUTED
Sources provide conflicting numbers for tourist arrivals. One source claims a record 38 million tourists in 2025, while another source (ProtoThema English) states arrivals reached 29.2 million in 2024. The claim of 38 million is contradicted by the 29.2 million figure.
