Kountoura: Greece one of the top tourism destinations
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
In two interviews with Al Jazeera, Alternate Minister for Tourism Eleni Kountoura thanked the tourists that had chosen to take their holidays in Greece and noted that tourist traffic was higher than last year.
In interviews with Al Jazeera International, the network's channel in English and the Al Jazeera Media Network in Arabic, Kountoura noted that tourism is still high in the list of preferred destinations for tourism and underlined Greece's interest in the tourist market from the Middle East.
In the last month, she added, she had visited Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates and closed agreements designed to boost Greek tourism, such as the addition of direct flights to Greece from the end of June.
Noting that Greece was a safe and ideal destination for holidays, Kountoura also announced the launch of an internet campaign to attract last-minute tourists throughout the world and said that her ministry is working round the clock to immediately solve any problems that may arise.
