Tourism Minister Vassilis Kikilias stated on Thursday that his ministry’s target is to develop and support a tourist product that will combine cultural routes with green growth.
In this context, he said, the next campaign of the ministry and of the Greek National Tourism Organization will focus on a sustainable tourism model for the country that will be environmentally friendly, focusing on the green and blue economy and with respect for the history and culture of Greece.
