Minister Kountoura Spreads the Word: Summer Now in Greece

Alternate Tourism Minister Elena Kountoura is spreading the word to the world with interviews in international media, including Bloomberg and Russia-24, and invites holidaymakers to summer down in Greece.

“Greek tourism enjoys the finest infrastructure to cater to the needs of the most demanding tourists and provide ideal and memorable holidays in Greece,” she told state-owned broadcaster Russia-24.

Citing Athens International Airport  figures of a 24 percent increase in incoming traffic for the first five months of 2015, the minister told Bloomberg Television that there is an upward trend in tourist traffic compared to 2014, and that Greek tourism is a dynamic industry and Greece remains to be a safe and ideal holiday destination.

As part of the ministry’s ongoing actions to gain lost ground due to the recent referendum and political upheaval, Mrs Koutoura spoke of the running national campaign “Happening Now: #GreekSummer” and invited Greece lovers far and wide – whether  locals, guests or friends – to visit www.mygreeksummer, share their Greek experience and spread the word.
