The Minister of Tourism Vassilis Kikilias met with the President of the Hellenic Confederation of Trade and Entrepreneurship (ESEE) Giorgos Karanikas at the Ministry of Tourism. In his statements after the meeting, the Minister of Tourism stressed that the time has come to define the framework of the tourism commercial enterprise and pointed out that trade contributes decisively to the tourism product and the tourist experience for the benefit of society and the economy. For his part, the president of ESEE underlined that the precise definition of the tourism commercial enterprise, in cooperation with the tourism agents, will be able to contribute to the further growth of Greek tourism.
Specifically, the Minister of Tourism stated the following: “I met with the President of ESEE, Mr. Karanikas, with whom we are cooperating on the issues of the obvious relationship between Greek tourism and Greek trade, which we will strengthen in the coming period. I think the time has come to define the context of the tourism business. We believe that trade contributes significantly to the tourism product and the tourism experience and we want to find ways to support this joint effort, for the benefit of the average Greek family, Greek society, the country’s GDP and, of course, the commercial world. It is obvious and self-evident that trade flourishes in tourist areas and at the same time gives additional strength and leverage to Greek tourism. I am very glad that we talked about this very important issue, Mr President, and I hope that we will find ways of further cooperation and added value. Thank you very much”.
Mr. Karanikas said: “First of all, I want to thank the Minister of Tourism for the reception and his kind words, but also for the fact that he understands the importance of Greek trade in the field of tourism. Greek trade contributes significantly to the country’s tourism product and the main thing that we explained today to the Minister is that we must define exactly the tourism trade company, which in cooperation with tourism agents will be able to contribute to the further growth of Greek tourism. We thank him for this cooperation and we hope that in the future it will be even more constructive, in order to achieve all the goals set by the Ministry, but also in general all the factors of Tourism. Trade is here. “
