PM: Sustainable tourism growth in Greece to become the best in the world

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis addressing on Saturday a Messinia (prefecture) Chamber event entitled "The major investments as a catalyst for growth and good jobs for all: The example of Costa Navarino" stated that "we are setting the bar of sustainable growth to become the best in the world and not compromise with anything less. The prime minister pointed out that "this sustainable growth combines an upgraded tourist product with the environment protection, the promotion of our cultural heritage and the connection with the agrifood sector". "I will not allow tourist growth at the expense of natural wealth" he stressed adding that "the future should be growth prospect with clearly sustainable characteristics". Mitsotakis also referred to the investment of Costa Navarino pointing out that "the possibility of an important investment initiative that cooperates and talks with the local community and economy constitutes a model on how growth can spread to a whole region". As he said 'we do not refer to investments that create closed-type ecosystems of prosperity but to networks that spread the wealth to businesses and to the workers beyond the limits of the specific investment". Mitsotakis noted that it is very interesting the fact that the local community is following the path laid down by Costa Navarino adding that this investment contributes to the promotion of the region's cultural wealth.
