(CNN)-Greece's rejection of Europe's latest bailout offer has raised uncertainty for millions of vacationers planning to head there for their summer break.

With a "Grexit" from the eurozone an ever increasing prospect, banks remaining shuttered and concerns over shortages of basic goods, many will be questioning whether or not to cancel their trip. (Marissa Tejada and Barry Neild, CNN).

Who is/will this affect?: This affects the habitants in Greece, and will affect the tourists and travellers coming to Greece

What is the issue?: There is a money issue going around Greece because of the shortage of basic goods

Where is it happening?: All throughout Greece

Why is this happening?: Since there are shortages of money and imports, this is causing an econmy issue.

Stakeholders: The banks and the Government

Some things to keep in mind if you are still travelling to Greece while this issue is still ongoing, is to bring some money with you. It may be difficult to take money out of bank machines, and some banks have put a daily $20 limit for withdrawals.
My opinion on the matter is to keep an emergency fund of money, safe in your hotel room or wallet, and only use it if necessary. I think this issue will not have a bad influence on tourism.
