Tourism Minister Harry Theoharis discusses Greece's plan to safely open for tourists

Earlier this week, Greece announced it was lifting certain restrictions on travelers from the EU, the US, and other countries if they are vaccinated or test negative for Covid-19. At the same time, another flight from the US to Greece was announced, bringing the total number to 8 daily direct flights over the summer. These moves come as Greece prepares to officially open to tourists in mid May for the summer. Tourism is a key sector of Greece’s economy, responsible for over 20% of the country’s GDP.

Haris Theoharis, Greece’s Minister of Tourism, joins The Greek Current to talk about Greece’s plan to safely open for tourists this summer, the importance of the US market for Greek tourism, and more.

What's at stake for Syria's minorities in the wake of Assad's fall?
