Kyriakos Anastasiadis: Celestyal is the ambassador of Greek tourism abroad
Greece has the potential to become the first cruise destination in the world, as Mr. Kyriakos Anastasiadis, CEO of Celestyal Cruises points out in his interview at maritimes TV. It is a unique region with many islands close to each other, which Celestyal shows off and has included in the cruise world map.
He notes that the sale of regional airports and the privatization of the port of Piraeus will serve the development of the cruise.
The cooperation of public and private sector is a recipe for success and underlines that the prospect of undertaking the Lavrio port management remains in the development strategy of Celestyal.
Abroad, Celestyal has a dynamic presence in Cuba for several years now, with a steady upward course. From next year one of its cruise ships, the “Crystal”, will develop its activities in the region annually.
A new target market for Celestyal is Russia, which has great potential, but as Mr. Anastasiadis points out, they should become more familiar with this type of tourism.
“A very small percentage of tourists worldwide select the cruise” highlights Mr. Anastasiadis, speaking about the competition and the growth prospects of the industry. “Those tourists visiting Greece this is the number of cruise tourists globally. Imagine the growth prospects…”
