Deputy Culture Minister Nikitiadis in London

Deputy Culture and Tourism Minister George Nikitiadis, addressing the panel of the Tourism Ministers session organised by the World Tourism Organisation and held in the framework of the International Tourism Exhibition WTM 2010 in London, outlined Greece’s positions on the main problems concerning the world tourist market.

 

The coordinator of the discussion, in which a Greek minister participated for the first time, was the well known CNN reporter Richard Quest.

On the same day, Nikitiadis had separate meetings with three of the biggest tourist organisations, that take tourists from Britain to Greece, the leadership of the TUI, the president and associates of the administration of Thomas Cook, as well as the heads of Olympic Holidays.

He then met with the vice president of the Ryanair airline company and the representatives of the administration of Easyjet and of Monarch airlines, as well as with representatives of the companies Trip Advisor and Expedia.

Moreover, placing emphasis on the alternative forms of tourism, Nikitiadis provided a working luncheon for the representatives of the biggest British special tourism offices (Sunvil, Planet Holidays, Responsible Travel, CV Travel, Ramblers, Ionian&Aegean Holidays), discussing with them possibilities of developing their tourist products.
