This latest "austerity" package will kill us. Our economy will contract a further ~6% AT THE VERY LEAST. We should just default and go back to the drachma. Greece would fill with tourists yet again (maybe even more so, with Spain, Portugal, Italy,etc in the Euro)

No it would not. Whether Greece default or not the country more or less in a very messy or chaotic state. No tourist wants to go to a in such an economical and political mess. As far as I can remember, I've been on holiday to Greece 6 times, I have no intention on going back anytime soon (which, tbh honest and fair, is a shame).
