Greece is one of the most promising emerging wine tourism destinations because of what the country itself represents in terms of culture and nature, Jos? Antonio Vidal, president of GWTO, underlined in an interview with the Athens-Macedonian News Agency.
The identification, knowledge, and use of tourism resources must become the most important strategy of a tourism destination and the companies that make it up, he added.
“One of the most important trends that encourage wine tourists to choose the destination is sustainability and commitment to nature,” he stressed.
According to Vidal, Greece, with more than 300 varieties of its own grapes, has a vineyard area of approximately 150,000 hectares, highlighting 4 regions:
1. North: Epirus, Macedonia, and Thrace
2. Islands of the Aegean Sea: Santorini, Samos, and Limnos
3. Central Greece: Central Greece, Thessaly, and Attica
4. Southern Greece: Crete, Peloponnese, and Kefalonia
Any region of them really endowed with tourist resources.
