Evgenios Yiannakopoulos

Secretary General,
Hellenic Tourism Organization

Philoxenia 2000 greeting.

With the opportunity of 25 years of Greek Travel Pages circulation, which coincides with this year’s Philoxenia, I would like to stress GTP’s contribution to the information sector, and particularly its useful character for tourism consumers.

This present period, where we find ourselves before substantial changes taking place in the tourism sector – characterized by rapid transformations within the international tourism market and by efforts to develop the domestic tourism product – the trade press contributes positively in the many-sided analysis of objective information, as well as in the promotion of tourism Greece.

GTP has firmly planted itself within the consciousness of all those who work directly and indirectly in tourism. And without a doubt it has ‘won’ the professionals of the travel trade. I am sure its contributors will continue with the same warmth and with unfailing intense efforts to offer their services to our huge tourism family.
