A work stoppage by guards at Greece’s museums and archaeological sites on Saturday drew criticism from Greece’s leading tourism group SETE and Tourism Minister Elena Kountoura for disrupting operations at the start of this year’s season, ANA reports.
Greek Tourism Confederation (SETE) stressed on Thursday that walkout, starting at 8 am, sends negative messages to international travellers and the domestic market which is showing increased traffic for the Easter period.
SETE called on guards to talk over their differences with the Greek government to prevent the shutdown.
In response to the walkout, Kountoura said it is unjustified and casting a negative shadow over the industry at the beginning of a very strong start to the season.
