  • [01] Kos on Tourism Ministry's spotlight in 2017, says Kountoura

    The strategic priority to promote the island of Kos in 2017 dominated the meeting of Alternate Tourism Minister Elena Kountoura with representatives of the local administration of northern Aegean and the Chamber of Dodecanese.

    Kountoura said that the promotion of Kos is a strategic priority. She briefed the officials on the actions implemented by the ministry and the Greek Tourism Organisation (EOT) in cooperation with representatives of the public and private sector in order to boost tourism on the island. As she said, Kos has already restored its position as an attractive destination and tourist arrivals have increased.

    The minister underlined that targeted actions will continue in 2017 in cooperation with the regional authorities, local administration and the private sector.

    Kos is included for a second year in the central marketing planning of the ministry and EOT in the European markets and Russia. In addition, planning for the 2017 first includes the promotion of thematic products, such as conference tourism, sea tourism, sports coaching tourism and gastronomy.

    [02] Greek dairy industry's initiative on feta cheese

    The Federation of Greek Dairy Industry (SEVGAP) on Thursday launched an initiative aimed to help resolving problems facing Greek feta cheese, as a national product outside the country.

    The Federation met with representatives from producers, academics, political parties and the legal world at the Agricultural University of Athens to examine and promote systematic and more efficient ways of resolving the problem of establishing the identity of feta cheese. The meeting agreed on a series of immediate actions (both on national and community level) and agreed to involve a larger number of officials and organizations in this effort, such as: a vote in the Greek Parliament, demanding explanations and fundamental corrective actions by Agricultural Commissioner in the Greek Parliament and requesting the intervention of the European Ombudsman over the handling of the issue by the European Commission.
