Later on Twitter, Kourneta posted her letter of resignation addressed to Tourism Minister Elena Kountoura.

“Since I took up my duties to this day, I have worked diligently and with dedication to contribute to the critical work carried out by the Tourism Ministry,” she continues.

Kourneta then thanked the ministry’s employees who worked for the overall success of Greek tourism “with passion and selflessness” and the tourism bodies that contributed to the ministry’s effort.

“The success in tourism is not the result of only one person, but of a whole group of people who believed in the vision and successfully brought it to completion,” she concluded.

A replacement for the position has not yet been announced by the ministry.
