the world's top tourism destinations and to achieve a carve out a
greater share of the market."We're aiming for the so-called 'creative

true experiences," he said.According to the freshman minister, Greek
tourism is also seeking out new era modes of advertising, via the
Internet, for instance. Finally, he reiterated that the government's
strategy in the all-important tourism sector aims to bolster specific
brands of tourism that more-or-less veer away from traditional forms of
tourism offered in Greece over the past decades, instead emphasising
sea sports, trekking and hiking routes, tours of cultural sites, health
spas, conferences and conventions, luxury packages, agro-tourism and
weekend getaways.
