However, he noted that \u201cgeopolitical and economic challenges continue to exist and do not allow for predictions. In any case, we do not see anything worrying about this season\u2019s numbers, whether it be slots or reservations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vassilikos expressed his belief that Greek tourism can unleash its endless potential and provide more than what it has offered to date. In this direction, the chamber is launching a major initiative to open up to society under the title \u201cHospitality with Value for All.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFollowing a series of actions and initiatives at both central and regional levels, we will demonstrate that tourism is indeed everyone\u2019s business. It is not just a nice slogan, it is a reality, which we must communicate with the greatest possible effectiveness,\u201d the president of the chamber noted.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-content --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n        var NXFBPixelFunc = function () {\n            document.removeEventListener(\"scroll\", NXFBPixelFunc);\n            setTimeout(function () {\n                !function (f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n                    if (f.fbq) return;\n                    n = f.fbq = function () {\n                        n.callMethod ?\n                            n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments)\n                    };\n                    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n                    n.push = n;\n                    n.loaded = !0;\n                    n.version = '2.0';\n                    n.queue = [];\n                    t = b.createElement(e);\n                    t.async = !0;\n                    t.src = v;\n                    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n                    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s)\n                }(window, document, 'script',\n                    'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n                fbq('init', '109138906120213');\n                fbq('track', 'PageView');\n            }, 0)\n        };\n        document.addEventListener(\"scroll\", NXFBPixelFunc);\n    <\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ekathimerini.com\/economy\/1258946\/hoteliers-express-optimism-on-tourism-despite-the-challenges\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first indications for the upcoming tourism season are positive, the president of the Hellenic Chamber of Hotels, Alexandros Vassilikos, pointed out on Wednesday at an event on the occasion of the 90th anniversary of the establishment and operation of the chamber.
