Tourism Minister Kefalogianni meets new Japanese Ambassador Koichi Ito

During the meeting, they discussed the promotion of bilateral tourism cooperation, as well as the events in the field of tourism, planned on both sides, within the framework of the Greece-Japan Year of Culture and Tourism 2024.

The minister informed the ambassador that she plans to visit Japan at the end of next September, on the occasion of our country's participation in the "Tourism Expo Japan 2024", in order to have contacts at the political and tourist level and attend events that will be organized in Japan by the Ministry of Tourism, in the context of the Year of Culture and Tourism 2024. Among these events, a prominent place will be the presentation of the special reissue of Kazantzakis' iconic work of travel literature "Travelling in Japan", in Greek and the Japanese language.

Kefalogianni's visit to Japan will provide an opportunity to explore the possibilities of a regular direct air connection between the two countries, as well as the promotion of investment and business cooperation in the field of tourism.
