As part of her ministry’s ongoing strategy to reach out to promising new markets in the Middle East and introduce Greek tourism options, Alternate Tourism Minister Elena Kountoura attended this year’s Arabian Travel Market (ATM), held in Dubai this week.

Minister Kountoura met with United Arab Emirates (UAE) government officials, tourism sector professionals and entrepreneurs to gauge investment interest as well as discuss ways to boost tourism flow to Greece. 

Ms Kountoura met with Minister of State and Expo 2020 Dubai chief Reem Al Hashimy, Dubai Chamber of Commerce & Industry president Majid Al Ghurair Investment Corporation of Dubai (ICD) CEO Mohammed Al Shaibani, and Emirates Airlines president & CEO Sheikh Ahmedbin Saeed Al Maktoum.

“This year we have 160 applications for the development of four- and five-star hotels,” she told local paper Gulf News, adding that the government is set to announce incentives for investors in the coming month.

According to SETE Intelligence figures, the number of arrivals from the UAE to Greece last year rose by 33 percent.
