Minister of Tourism Olga Kefalogianni met on Tuesday with South Korean Ambassador to Greece Lim Ju-seong.
During their meeting, they discussed the strengthening of tourism cooperation between the two countries, focusing on the promotion of lesser-known tourist destinations in the Greek regions.
Lim pointed out that Greece is a popular destination for South Koreans, who, as he said, travel even during off-peak months. He added that Greece has become particularly well-known and loved through TV shows that have highlighted specific areas of the country.
Kefalogianni and Ambassador Lim emphasized the importance of launching direct flights to strengthen tourism and trade relations.
Lim invited Kefalogianni to Seoul on the occasion of the tourism exhibition to be held in May, and they agreed to sign a memorandum of understanding.
