Santorini and the Year of Gastronomy 2013 at WTM London 2013
The initiative of the Municipality of Thira to proclaim the year 2013 as its Year of Gastronomy was highly successful and has given thousands of visitors an additional reason to visit this unique island of Greece throughout the whole year. For this reason, the Greek Ministry of Tourism and the National Tourism Organization (EOT) promoted the island of Santorini in WTM in a special way.
During the press conference, the Minister of Tourism Mrs. Olga Kefalogianni mentioned "Secret Greece" and actually stated that the Ministry of Tourism and the National Tourism Organization (EOT) will particularly focus on the promotion of the special characteristics of Greek gastronomy but also on other more specific types of tourism, such as the medical tourism, the religious and the sports tourism.
