She reassured that the refugees’ influx will not affect the tourist arrivals on the Aegean islands, because as she said, the problem has been solved with the hotspots.
"There was a problem in the past but today these island are ready to receive the tourists, things have changed" said Kountoura adding that "a normality prevails on the islands, a guarantee for safety and for the country's image and this is something we have transferred to all the tour operators and tourist agencies" noted Kountoura.
