FM: Greece wants to convert coronavirus crisis success into gains for tourism

Greece wants to convert the gains from its very successful handling with the coronavirus crisis into gains for the Greek tourism market, Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias said on Wednesday in an interview with the public radio ERA, stressing that the government’s top priority remains to protect the health of both Greeks and visitors to the country, ANA reports.

“We are trying to ensure that, in the cases where the epidemiological features permit, the Greek tourist market is able to function and that visitors from other countries with a similar [epidemiological] profile, who do not burden the Greek health balance, are able to come to Greece,” he noted. Dendias noted that there were many such countries, such as Germany, that are trying to support the Greek tourist market and the countries of the Balkans.
