The opening of the 45th International Tourism Fair took place on Wednesday evening in Belgrade, with Greece this year holding the title of “Partner Country”. The fair was opened by Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and Greek Tourism Minister Olga Kefalogianni, ANA reports.
“The friendship of our two peoples has its roots in a common history, cultural ties, the struggle for freedom and our ambitions for a secure future,” Kefalogianni emphasized in his speech. She also highlighted the importance of cooperation in the field of tourism for the economic development and well-being of the people of the two countries.
“The Belgrade International Tourism Fair is one of the most important tourism events in our region, a global gathering that allows countries and participants not only to promote their tourism product, but also to communicate, collaborate, create partnerships and building strong relationships. And this is precisely the essence of tourism,” Kefalogianni noted.
For his part, Vucic emphasized that Greece is the preferred tourist destination for Serbs, while noting the increase in the number of Greeks visiting Belgrade and other tourist destinations in Serbia.
Kefalogianni will meet her Serbian counterpart Husein Memic on Thursday, with whom she will examine the possibilities and prospects for strengthening cooperation between the two countries.
