V. Kikilias: The big tour operators announced a doubling of the number of travelers for the summer in Greece

“Tourism is the spearhead of our policy for 2022,” Tourism Minister Vassilis Kikilias said in an interview with Open TV.

“Along with the serious issues of defense and internal security, which the Government has taken care of and strengthened and the tax reduction that we systematically see from the Mitsotakis Government, Tourism comes to give huge assistance to the Greek economy.

“This will be the spearhead of our policy for the coming months in 2022 and the Greek, the average Greek family, the commercial world, the tourist world and all the professions around Tourism must feel it”, he stressed.

Referring to the bookings for 2022, he stated: “bookings for the spring and summer of 2022 and until the end of autumn 2022 have started to increase sharply from the beginning of the year.

The big tour operators announced a doubling of travelers. The CEO of TUI said that out of 1.5 million travelers who brought in 2021, they will bring 3 million travelers in 2022.

The cruise instead of mid-April starts on March 1, with the ports of Piraeus and Thessaloniki being home ports and we are asked to extend it until the end of autumn.

You can see that big publishing houses, big networks and newspapers from abroad are praising the Greek islands and encouraging travelers to come to the country. Because we handled in this way and with such great success especially the first part of the health crisis. Everyone knows that Greece is a safe destination.

The hundreds of thousands who deal with the tourism product must return, directly or indirectly, the dividend from the profits, from this very great effort that is made in tourism. “These are the locomotives of the Greek economy, not just the hoteliers, not just the airline owners.”
