Key Tourism Figures 2018: Giorgos Patoulis, President Greek Medical Tourism Council (ELITOUR)

We strongly believe that Greece is the Land of Health, and should be recognized as so by the world tourism market…

I’m delighted to address a warm greeting, on behalf of the Greek Medical Tourism Council ELITOUR, to the Greek Travel Pages’ very important initiatives for the international promotion of Greek tourism, with our thanks for the great work and the efficient efforts you make on this field .

It is beyond any doubt that tourism remains a key pillar of support of Greece’s national economy, especially in an era that the country is in search of alternative ways to expand incoming tourism in space and time. Medical Tourism, and Health Tourism in general, are evolving to essential keystones, critical to reverse tourism seasonality, especially in a country like Greece.

Efforts have so far been successful, and we are looking forward with optimism to the future, providing a promising enhanced profile to Destination Greece. We are aiming to keep attracting the millions of Greece’s travel fans, providing them an additional chance to visit Greece: our highly educated and trained scientific staff, Greece’s specialized doctors and scientists, as well as the state-of-the-art medical and therapeutic facilities, existing in our country’s ideal landscape, that directly contributes to the traveler’s health and wellbeing.

Greek nature’s unique composition transforms the atmosphere to an original Wellness environment since the ancient times.

We strongly believe that Greece is the Land of Health, and should be recognized as so by the world tourism market. We have been working for the international awareness of this scientific and historical truth, and we have joined efforts to establish a reputation of Greece as a quality Health Travel destination.

We are looking forward to the GTP’s decisive contribution on this direction, and I, personally, wish you huge and fruitful success in your worldwide campaign.
