[01] Gov't on tourism revenues
Tourism Minister Aris Spiliotopoulos on Wednesday briefed the Inner
Cabinet on tourism-related issues, stressing that figures up to now
indicate a 3-percent increase in the sector whereas related revenue
has increased by 8.5 percent in the first half of 2008.
Spiliotopoulos said the Greek tourism sector has so far resisted
negative repercussions from the current international economic
crisis, while the sector retains the potential to develop in the
following years. He also stressed that the sector must be prepared
to face a recession if and when this occurs in the traditional
markets, especially by penetrating into new rising markets.
