Furthermore, the two Ministers agreed to co-organize several actions with the goal of attracting international film and television producers in Greece. They also spoke about implementing economic incentives and simplify the bureaucratic process for filming, through a single point of contact, aiming at the multiple benefits of attracting international productions in the country. It was also agreed to jointly create mobile phone applications that will enable visitors explore Greece’s cultural and archaeological sites, as well as monuments. As the two Ministers stressed, the aim of their cooperation is to fully utilize Greece’s comparative advantages in the tourism and cultural sectors.
