(ANSA) - NAPLES, 22 APR - The most important tour operators
in the world consider Greece to be the top Mediterranean
destination as soon as travel resumes after the Covid-19
emergency, according to Greek Travel Pages, citing statements by
Greek Development and Investments Minister Adonis Georgiadis. In
an online forum titled "Covid-19: Business Against Uncertainty",
Georgiadis also explained that next week he will participate in
a European forum with his colleague, Greek Tourism Minister
Harry Theonaris, and other primary stakeholders in the European
tourism market. "There are large tour operators that say they
want to bring tourists back to Greece instead of other countries
due to our health system's success in managing the pandemic,"
Georgiadis said. "The positive surprise that we elicited with
our health system will also be brought into play in our
economy," he said. He said if Greece maintains its positive
image and this sense of security, it could take a large slice of
the small tourism pie in summer 2020 and next year. "Forecasts
by the International Monetary Fund that see tourism at zero this
year, with a heavy weight on our GDP, could be disproved," he
said. (ANSA).
