Greece to boost “Tourism for All” domestic holidaying initiative

Greece’s Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced a funding boost for the beneficiaries and for the ‘Tourism for All 2022’ domestic holidaying state subsidy program, speaking at the city of Preveza on Friday.

“Every time I talk about tourism, I fully empathize with our fellow citizens who have difficulty being able to spend even a few days on vacation,” he noted.

The premier then announced the addition of another 30 million euros to the program’s budget, equivalent to another 200,000 beneficiaries.

This program provides a 150-euro virtual coupon which is then used at hotels and accommodations nationwide. The coupon’s value is 200 euros for people with special needs who are more than 67% physically challenged, and whose mobility is thus affected. The coupon is valid through July 2023.

Mitsotakis then visited the archaeological site of Nikopolis, where he was welcomed by Culture & Sports Minister Lina Mendoni.
