The Greek government announced on Monday plans to implement a new framework to curb overtourism on the country’s more popular islands.
Labeled the Special Spatial Framework for Tourism, the ministers of Tourism, Olga Kefalogianni, and Environment and Energy, Stavros Papastavrou, say the strategy will be crucial in keeping tourism sustainable for both locals and foreign visitors, by limiting the number of tourists allowed on key islands.
The plans come as the Greek government controversially lifts biometric border checks for British tourists over summer. CGTN’s Evangelo Sipsas explains.
