Description

The procedure concerns notification of the operation of a travel agency (or of a branch of a travel agency), which has replaced the granting of a certificate of compliance with the statutory conditions for the operation of a travel agency.

Travel agencies operate duly upon collection of the required supporting documents and the subsequent submission of a notification of operation to the Integrated Information System for the Exercise of Activities and Audits (OPS-ADE) under Article 14 of Law 4442/2016.

Before submitting the notification, the operator must submit to the competent Regional Tourism Office a letter of guarantee in favour of the Greek State with a five-year term, in accordance with Annex II to Joint Ministerial Decision No 18914/2021 (Government Gazette, Series II, Issue No 5161) or a security deposit of equal amount issued by the Deposits and Loans Fund.

Natural persons, third-country nationals and legal entities having their registered office in third countries are entitled to operate a travel agency, provided that they have appointed a special agent in Greece. This right is recognised on the condition that, under the legislation of the state of nationality or of the registered office thereof, the same right is granted to Greek nationals and to companies having their registered office in Greece. Otherwise, the natural or legal persons set out under the first subparagraph shall be entitled to provide tourism services only if they contract to that end with a travel agency duly operating in Greece.
