Greece has both natural and cultural assets. But it has lacked in infrastructure -- be it inadequate, or unsuitable public transport from the airport, or poor service at a restaurant, or in a shop. Representatives from across the sector of the Greek tourism industry -- hoteliers, restaurant owners, travel agents, tour bus operators, tour guides, ferry companies, and so on -- have long touted the problems they have faced. From its first day in government, the New Democracy indicated its intention to address these problems. And in the first few months it has been in power, it has already gone beyond simply stating its intentions and has actually begun to do something.
