Statement by the Minister of Tourism
The Minister of Tourism, Ms. Olga Kefalogianni, in her statement on the occasion of this year’s event, underlined the importance of maritime tourism for the national economy and tourism development:
“Greece is constantly recording top performances in tourism, strengthening its position as an internationally recognized destination. Our goal is sustainable and qualitative development, with respect for local communities and the natural environment.
Maritime tourism, with a focus on yachting, is one of the most dynamically developing sectors, reducing seasonality and creating new development opportunities for local communities. It is a strategic priority for the Ministry of Tourism, with projects already being implemented through the Recovery Fund, the upgrading of ports, the strengthening of diving tourism infrastructure and the improvement of accessibility to beaches”.
The Minister made special mention of the establishment of an Observatory for Coastal and Marine Tourism in the Eastern Mediterranean, in collaboration with the World Tourism Organization, which will provide valuable expertise for the formulation of a long-term strategy in the sector.
In closing, she stressed that the Olympic Yacht Show 2025 “promotes Greece internationally as a leading force in maritime tourism in the Mediterranean”, wishing the organization every success.
