[02] PM Tsipras in Paris for PES meeting, Hollande confirms presence in
Athens summit
Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras will start a series of international
contacts this week starting on Thursday (August 25), when he will
participate in the summit of the Party of European Socialists (PES)
in Paris.
On Monday, the French government confirmed that President Francois
Hollande will attend a meeting of the European South in Athens at the
start of September, initiated by Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras.
"A South Europe meeting will be held at the start of September, which was
proposed by the Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and which François
Hollande accepted," spokesman Stephane Le Foll said.
[03] Rhodes restaurant owners oppose to all inclusive packages
The restaurant owners of Rhodes expressed their opposition to all
inclusive packages offered by the majority of the hotels on the island.
Therefore they propose the cooperation between restaurants and
hoteliers that will provide tourists with special vouchers to eat in
local restaurants.
As they said, the all inclusive model, inspired by the foreign tourist
agents, is in full contrast with the economic interests of the local
community and has serious effects on the local economy as hundreds of
small and medium sized companies are struggling to survive.
