Greek Minister of Tourism Pavlos Geroulanos is taking full advantage of the possibility of siphoning off Israeli tourists who have been accustomed to traveling to Turkey for their sun and fun. In an interview with Ynet in Israel, he details some great reasons to visit Greece and encourages Israelis to go to Greece as an alternative to Turkey, now that political relations between Tel Aviv and Ankara are strained.
Geroulanos' visit to Israel is part of a multi-year plan from his office to focus on different regions around the world and encourage tourism to Greece. Right now, the focus is on Israel and other countries in the Middle East.
