LONDON. A meeting on cultural tourism took place in a packed room at the Excel Exhibition Centre on Monday afternoon.
Amongst the speakers at the meeting at the World Travel Market were the Greek Minister for Tourism Haris Theoharis and Floret Koutsoudonti from the Goulandris Foundation.
In the audience, amongst others, were GNTO President Angela Gerekou, Ionian Islands Regional Governor Rodi Kratsa, travel agents and tour operators.
The Minister for Tourism said: "Our country knows how to protect its cultural resources and its environment. This done with the recommendation of the Greek State so there need be no fear from tourist development, which, in any case, is not intense development. This doesn't mean that we don't need active political management for the development of the complete tourist experience - this will be utilised where there is pressure on the infrastructure and branding is at a global level."
