Tourism is a Force for Good ......It promotes tolerance and peace.
Tourism is a globally important industry playing an essential economic role in almost every nation in the world.
It creates jobs and country development. The industry encourages intercultural cooperation and employment of people from all walks of life and nationalities.
It also is a force for championing – and actioning – sustainability to protect our planet and preserve our limited resources.
Sustainability is here to stay! I personally put sustainability in the heart of tourism industry. I invite you all to this coalition to take actions and not only to be a voice.
Being a Force for Good is all about the most important values: respect and equal opportunities for individuals, communities, nations, today and in the future.
I invite you all to this coalition .Lets take the Greek tourism beyond the future.
#together we CAN.
