Dimitris Haritidis, a Cretan tourism professional, has announced his candidacy for the board of SETE, the Greek Tourism Confederation, the country's main body representing the tourism industry. In his announcement, Haritidis emphasized that Crete needs a structured plan and a clear long-term tourism vision to manage its growing popularity as a destination. He argues that coordinated strategy at the national level is essential for the island to develop sustainably and maintain quality standards for visitors. For tourists, this reflects an ongoing conversation among Greek tourism stakeholders about improving infrastructure, services, and visitor experience across Crete. Board elections for SETE will determine the direction of Greek tourism policy in the coming years, with Crete, as the country's top destination, playing a central role in those discussions.
