Greece’s national tourism policy has been extremely successful during the past three years, Tourism Minister Elena Kountoura said in statements to the Athens-Macedonian News Agency on Tuesday, commenting on the publication of the Bank of Greece’s data on tourism. According to the central bank, more than 23.5 million tourists came to Greece in the nine months from January to September, while revenues from tourism came close to 13 billion euros.
“Tourists for 365 days a year is our priority,” the minister noted. “What we want is a continued upward trend as in previous years… In 2017 we again had record arrivals and revenues,” she added.
“We believe that tourism will continue to play a leading role in the future because it is the driving force behind our national economy. It is also the bridge that helps other production sectors to develop,” she stressed.
