PM Samaras meets with TUI travel agency

TUI's managing director Peter Long called the meeting very important noting that "the political stability that the government has succeeded is very important because a very strong and positive economic course has been achieved, something that is very good for tourism."

Moreover, he said that 2014 was a very good year and the number of TUI's clients visiting Greece increased by 10 percent. "We have a very good and strong cooperation with the Greek Tourism Minister and we see potential to further develop it. We hope to increase the number of our clients in Greece by 10 percent in the next year as well," he added.

Tourism Minister Olga Kefalogianni that was also present at the meeting stated that the huge success of the Greek tourism has been based in cooperations with major foreign tourist agents. "We are interested in having an increase in tourist arrivals in 2015, extend the tourism season and offer the opportunity to other Greek regions to get into 'the tourism game' so that local societies have profits from tourism," Kefalogianni said.
