Deputy Minister Attends International Cruise Convention
Deputy Culture and Tourism Minister George Nikitiadis presented significant opportunities provided for cruise tourism and investments in Greek port projects, following the lifting of cabotage restrictions (currently in process by the Greek government), last month at the 8th Seatrade Med Cruise Convention in Cannes, France.
Mr. Nikitiadis particularly highlighted changes in the prospects of sea cruises as a form of incoming tourism through the development of fly/cruise packages to regional airports.
In meetings held with leading international cruise figures, such as SilverSea Cruises President Manfredi Lefebvre d ‘Olivio, the deputy minister discussed the development of cruise routes to Greek destinations and investment opportunities for the creation of special port facilities (cruise ship docks, passenger stations, etc.).
