The safe and successful opening of Greek tourism, the arrival of 750,000 British tourists, the actions implemented in order for Greece to become a 12-month destination and the ministry's international initiatives to facilitate future travel were the main points of the presentation made Tourism Minister Haris Theoharis during a press conference in the context of the World Travel Market (WTM), which this year was held online.
