We hope that through tourism, the tourists coming to Greece will acquire the Greek spirit which is Olympic, hospitable, and the ideal of Greece. We hope that Greece will give once again the example of civilizational development to the whole world. The least of what interests us is the material benefits introduced by the tourists...
