The UK and Greece have signed a memorandum of understanding intended to strengthen tourism cooperation, with ministers saying the agreement will support sustainable growth and closer links between the two visitor economies.
The five-year agreement covers institutional cooperation, tourism promotion, sustainability, investment, digitalisation and vocational training. It also includes work on special interest tourism, including film, culture, gastronomy, wine, rural tourism, mountain tourism and hiking.
Tourism Minister Stephanie Peacock said the UK and Greece shared strong tourism links and a long history of visitors travelling between the two countries. Greek Tourism Minister Olga Kefalogianni said the agreement established a modern framework for cooperation beyond promotion alone.
