“Greece will be for Romania this year the number 1 tourist destination “ stressed to SKAI the Minister of Tourism Vassilis Kikilias.
In an interview with the “Today” show from Bucharest, where he is in a series of meetings with tour operators, airlines, businessmen and representatives of the country’s political leadership, Mr. Kikilias stressed that Romanian visitors will not only prefer their holidays. primarily Greece, but have also chosen destinations that do not have such a strong brand, thus strengthening the economy in other parts of the country that until now did not reap significant benefits from tourism. It is also particularly important that many of these destinations have traditionally been an attraction for Russian tourists, from whom, as the Minister said, this year we are not expected to see strong tourist flows, not only in Greece but also in other countries.
“That’s why this year we targeted other markets, such as Romania, Serbia – next week I will be there – and Poland as well as the Nordic countries, while with France, England and Israel we have already made agreements and we have secured very high numbers “pointed out V. Kikilias.
The Minister of Tourism made special reference to the direct flights from the USA, which have already started in March and will bring to our country half a million visitors, emphasizing that all this is a product of hard work that is done step by step in the midst of a raging war. in the heart of Europe.
He also expressed optimism for the coming months, however, as he said “we will make a fund at the end of 2022. The Government, the Prime Minister and I personally are interested in the average Greek family. The family tourism business, the primary production, the farmer who gives to tourism his products which are exceptional, the shops of health interest and the commercial world related to tourism “.
Mr. Kikilias also referred to social tourism: “We have announced 30 million euros for social tourism, from 1 July, with free pass. Easily, quickly and without bureaucracy, this intervention is addressed to all our fellow citizens who can not, for those who do not have, for those who have borne the brunt. In this way, the Greek Government proves once again how much it supports the Greeks, “he said characteristically.
