Tourism Minister Olga Kefalogianni: Working intensively for the future of Greek tourism

The new bill introduced to the Greek parliament will bring Greece closer to the dream of “establishing Greece as a global tourism power that is unique for its multifaceted tourism offer and the viable development of destinations and the tourism product,” Tourism Minister Olga Kefalogianni told the Standing Committee on Production and Trade on Friday.

Titled “Supporting tourism infrastructure and tourism education, upgrading the framework of the exercise of the tour guide profession and timeshare rentals, regulations for tourism agencies, and other regulations to support tourism”, the minister said that the bill is being introduced during a time of positive messages and recognitions in Greek tourism. As an example, she said that Greece became one of the ten most popular destinations globally, while 2024 indicated a strong dynamic in terms of tourism revenues and movement.

“However, we are at a point where it is critically important to safeguard the conditions allowing tourism to bring long-term benefits to the national economy and to local communities. For this reason, we are opening a new chapter for Greek tourism that focuses on the quality development of tourism. In this new effort, we build on the existing dynamic and utilize all of the comparative advantages of our country. We are planning and implementing policies and actions today for the Greek tourism of the following decades,” Kefalogianni said.
