At the end of January, a new lottery will be held for 125,000 vouchers under the program – Positive forecasts for 2023, according to Tourism Minister Vassilis Kikilia
The dynamics shown by tourism in Greece in 2022, as well as the positive forecasts for its further development in 2023, were underlined by the Minister of Tourism, Vassilis Kikilias, in the context of a meeting he had with journalists. As he said, this is proven by all the official data, but also by the income brought by tourism, which significantly strengthened the national economy and local communities.
Another big bet, which the Ministry of Tourism has set is for Greece to be a popular destination in all months of the year. According to Mr. Kikiliathis goal is already being realized, as the extension of the tourist season has become a reality.
In fact, it is noteworthy that, in addition to the destinations that have always been a pole of attraction for tourists, alternative destinations and the non-island Region have now been strengthened. In this direction, the “Tourism for All” program has made a decisive contribution. At this point, it is recalled that, at the end of January, a new lottery will be held for 125,000 vouchers within the framework of the program. The Minister of Tourism also spoke about the critical projects that will be implemented in 2023, utilizing resources from all available financial tools, with the aim of an even greater tourism upgrade.
