Tourism is the spearhead of Greece’s policy for 2022, said Tourism Minister Vassilis Kikilias in an interview with Open TV on Tuesday, according to ANA.
“Along with the serious matters of defense and domestic security that the government has taken care of and reinforces, along with the reduction of taxes which we see systematically from the Mitsotakis government, tourism comes to give a huge helping hand to the Greek economy,” he noted.
Referring to bookings in 2022, he pointed out that the “early bookings for the spring and summer of 2022 until the end of the autumn have started from the beginning of the year and are constantly increasing”.
He also noted that cruises were starting on March 1 instead of mid-April, with the ports of Piraeus and Thessaloniki becoming home ports, adding that “we are being asked to extend them until the end of autumn”.
