40% of the hotels in the area Heraklion are already open and the traffic of visitors is considered very satisfactory to the extent that it is at the same or slightly better level as in 2019, which is due to the increased number of flights from abroad and the start of the season earlier than before. This was stated by the president of the Hotel Owners Association of Heraklion, Nikos Chalkiadakis, during his telephone conversation with the Minister of Tourism, Vassilis Kikilias. In fact, according to him, the decline in the rate of new detentions with the start of the war in Ukraine has been reversed and returned to a positive sign.
The Minister of Tourism noted in this regard: “In the last few days, the positive news regarding this season is increasing. The positive elements, however, do not reassure us and we fight every day to face the challenges that arise. “The fluid situation with the war in Ukraine, the energy crisis, but also the pandemic that has not disappeared, requires coordination of the efforts of all those involved, in order to bring those resources that will support public finances and the Greek family.”
