Tourism Minister Kefalogianni expresses optimism

In view of the new tourism season Kefalogianni noted that "the goal for 2014 is to increase the tourist flow, the revenue of the country and to continue the modernisation of tourism products. At the same time our goal is to reduce as much as possible the degree of influence on each tourist season of current political or other events. Our strategy which aimed at the total restoration of Greece in major traditional markets has achieved the best results," she said according to ANA-MPA

Referring to tourism in the capital, the minister stressed that Athens is at the forefront of the priorities of the ministry, to restore it immediately and dynamically on the map of tourist destinations globally. She said there was a lot of systematic and quiet work behind the scenes for this purpose. "The signs of revival are visible," she noted.
