The mechanism of the Ministry of Tourism is on full alert following the developments that emerged today from the bankruptcy filing of the international tour operator from Germany, FTI, as the main concern is the safe return of foreign travelers who are in Greece and have come with the German tour operator.

In fact, the hoteliers of the country hosting them in Greece will take care of their transportation to Greek airports at their own expense.

Besides, it was suspected from last year the Greek professionals of the industry, that something was not going well with this travel operator. However, there are about 300 hotels in Greece, to which FTI owes a total of about EUR 1.8 million from last year.
