Large numbers of tourism professionals participated in the digital seminars conducted by Google under the auspices of the Ministry of Tourism, through the Greece From Home platform and the Grow Greek Tourism Online programme, the ministry said, according to ANA.
During the first 10 days of operation of Greece From Home platform, more than 1,000 participants registered to attend group online seminars. For the first time, tourism professionals, in addition to attending group seminars, have the opportunity to attend a free, one-on-one online training course tailored to the needs of their business with a specialized partner of Google’s Grow Greek Tourism Online programme.
A total of 135 individual training sessions have already been planned. Google’s support in the Learn educational unit of Greece From Home initiative created by the Ministry of Tourism, GNTO, and Marketing Greece in order to maintain the openness of Greece’s tourism brand during the pandemic, is implemented in the framework of the cooperation memorandum signed by the Ministry of Tourism with Google at the end of March 2020.
The memorandum mainly concerns the seminars “Grow Greek Tourism Online” for the training of workers and employees in the Greek tourism industry, which are under the auspices of the Ministry of Tourism and the certificate to be issued after the completion of the seminar will be signed by the Ministry of Tourism. In the context of this cooperation and contributing to the strategic goals of the Greek Ministry of Tourism, Google may provide the ministry with research and statistical quantitative and qualitative data concerning Greek and international tourism.
