Greece is making a compelling case for British tourists to ditch their Spanish holiday plans and opt for a Greek getaway instead. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has downplayed concerns about overtourism, emphasizing that the issue lies in the concentration of tourists in specific areas during peak seasons.
Speaking at the “Reimagine Tourism in Greece” conference, Mitsotakis highlighted the government’s commitment to addressing infrastructure challenges and implementing regulations to ensure a sustainable tourism experience. He emphasized that the goal is not simply to attract more visitors but to increase tourism revenue.
In contrast to the recent protests and rallies in Spain, Mitsotakis assured that Greece is taking proactive measures to manage tourism flow and avoid similar incidents. Initiatives such as a seasonal surcharge for popular destinations like Santorini and Mykonos and investments in infrastructure improvements aim to ensure a more enjoyable and sustainable experience for visitors.
Overall, Greece is positioning itself as a desirable alternative to Spain, offering a combination of natural beauty, cultural richness, and a well-managed tourism approach.
