Wednesday, June 28, 2023

The aim of the new government is to see Greek tourism industry becoming strong, competitive and sustainable, noted new Tourism Minister Olga Kefalogianni, speaking at the ministry handover ceremony on Tuesday, with outgoing caretaker Tourism Minister Ioanna Dretta.

Speaking of the ministry’s key policies alongside new Deputy Minister Elena Rapti, Kefalogianni mentioned respecting the environment and elevating the tourism product beyond seasonal restrictions and trends: “We want tourism 12 months per year,” she noted.

Green sustainability, commercial viability and short-term leases are more areas of interest too, she added.

It is the second time Kefalogianni is heading the Tourism Ministry.
