I am glad that I have contributed to the efforts for the opening and
further development of the Indian Market. India is one of the

emerging markets of high quality and importance on international
level and it is one of the strategic goals of Greek tourism to enter this
market dynamically in the next 3 years.

Already, before the pandemic started, we were in close cooperation
with the Ministry of Tourism of India, the first goal being to establish a

direct air flight connection. In fact, last February I was at the OTM
(Outbound Travel Market) and met with my Indian counterpart Mr.

Prahlad Singh Patel. In these bilateral meetings we agreed that there
is great interest from both countries to sign an MoU on issues of
investment and tourism, the priority still being that we ensure a direct

air flight connection.

I wish you success in your endeavors. The Ministry of Tourism is

always at your disposal to help with such efforts and I am sure that
soon there will be international flights without restrictions and that I

will be back in India and will welcome friends from India to Greece.
Good luck.

Haris Theoharis
Minister of Tourism
