Tui is set to launch a reforestation project in Rhodes, planting a forest of fire-tolerant trees as well as creating sustainable experiences for tourists and locals alike.
George Chatzimarkos, governor of the South Aegean Region, and Sebastian Ebel, Tui's chief executive, have launched the project
It comes as in late July Rhodes was beset by wildfires which rampaged through the island’s southern parts, forcing the evacuation of tens of thousands of holidaymakers.
Launching next year in cooperation with the government of the South Aegean, the project will aim to turn Rhodes into a “beacon” of sustainable tourism, creating hundreds of new jobs along the way.
