Deputy Minister of Tourism Kostas Koumis announced on Wednesday a grant scheme aimed at the revival of rural, mountainous, and remote areas, with a total budget of €4 million.
It should be noted that the amount allocated to this initiative will be fully covered by the European Unions Recovery and Resilience Facility.
Following a cabinet meeting on Wednesday, Koumis said that the goals of the plan are to provide targeted support for upgrading or restoring public and private spaces, improving the aesthetics and accessibility of spaces in the countryside, and the development of special forms of tourism in the areas covered by the plan.
The wider purpose of the scheme is for the government to support the local economy in the areas in question, to upgrade the experience of visitors and, by extension, to increase the number of visitors to inland areas, the minister added.
Koumis concluded by pointing out that the scheme is addressed both to natural and legal persons as well as to local authorities, with the scale of the aid provided being staggered and different in each case.
