Tourism and Culture Minister Angela Gerekou on Thursday inaugurated the 52nd tourism exhibition “Salon des Vacances” in Brussels, in which Greece is the honoured country this year.
In her address, Gerekou stressed inter alia that “for us Greeks, tourism is not an activity of ‘secondary importance’ but one of the sectors of the Greek economy. Today, a new tourism policy is being developed and the state is facing the issue of tourism as a field in which we must invest, in order to develop and further augment its potential. Greece is a country that has many possibilities, and in our new tourism policy we want to and showcase and project them”.
Moreover, Gerekou referred in detail to the priority on developing all forms of tourism, both traditional and alternative forms, with the emphasis on environmental protection. She also clarified that the new policies in the tourism sector aim at rendering Greece a year-round destination and not only for the summer season.
