GREECE FROM HOME: EXPERIENCE THE VERY BEST OF GREECE
An online platform called “Greece from Home” was launched by the Ministry of Tourism, the Greek Tourism Organization, and Marketing Greece, with the support of Google, aimed at reinforcing the country’s positive image during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The initiative, which is part of the government’s strategic response to the coronavirus crisis, offers new and varied ways to explore Greece and all its facets from the comfort and safety of home. It was conceived in line with the #menoumespiti (#westayhome) campaign.
The new platform will give its web visitors the opportunity to discover the beauties of Greece and to “travel” to its cities and towns, to keep in touch with Greek culture – without leaving home.
The platform’s website is split into three categories, Watch, Visit and Learn, which correspond to the three aims behind the program: promoting Greece and its culture, promoting Greece as a tourist destination and helping professionals to better their digital skills with the help of Google, especially those working in the tourism industry.
“Greece stays home but doesn’t stay home,” Tourism Minister, Haris Theoharis said during the presentation of the platform
The Tourism Minister also said that that it is particularly important that in these difficult times the public and private sectors cooperate together and work hard in order to prepare for the future.
The campaign is regarded as an ideal way to keep past and potential travelers dreaming about Greece, experiencing Greece and tasting Greece. All this while staying safe at home.
