"Crete has always been one of the flagships of Greek tourism and in the unprecedented crisis of the coronavirus, it managed to keep its reputation at a high level and to offer high quality services to the tourists who visited it last summer," Greek Νational Tourism Organisation (GNTO) secretary general Dimitris Fragakis said in an interview with the Athens-Macedonian News Agency (ANA) released on Sunday. 

Greece is placed at the top of the world travel elite, after the awarding of the Ministry of Tourism and NGTO (EOT) as "Top Tourism Agency in the World".

Greek National Tourism Organization (GNTO) President Angela Gerekou, in an address late on Thursday to the 100th general assembly of the European Travel Commission held via teleconference, said that in order to go forward it was necessary to first take a step back and assess what has happened in the last decade. Afterward, she added, there must be an analysis of the current conditions and the planning and implementation of policies for "the kind of tourism we want to have in the coming years."
