Tourist Development Minister Aris Spiliotopoulos attended the
inauguration of the "Tourist Panorama" exhibition on Thursday, that has
completed 13 years of presence in the country's tourist developments
this year.
Speaking during the event, Spiliotopoulos stressed the importance of
tourism for the Greek economy, noting that it is a "national wager",
since it constitutes the most significant apparatus for regional
economic growth.
Describing the ministry's strategy, he said that it is based on the
slogan of "multiformity, quality and viability."
He added that the goal of the new strategy remains the prolongation of
the tourist period and this will be achieved with the diversification
of the tourist product.
Focusing on domestic tourism, the minister said that, as far as the
ministry is concerned, domestic tourism is an excellent opportunity to
exercise social policy.
Lastly, he said that in this direction social tourism programmes this
year include more options regarding destinations, accommodation and
tourist services.
