– The regulation and management of tourism in Greece are entrusted to a tripartite institutional tourism system: the State itself (Ministry of Tourism), the Greek National Tourism Organisation, and the Hellenic Public Properties Company, entrusted inter alia with the management of public property relating to certain therapeutic springs. Greece remains the sole state to have constitutionally referenced thermal waters, termed “therapeutic waters”, since its 1911 Constitution, and indeed on the basis of the principle of special regulation by law, potentially by way of derogation from the general constitutional regime of property protection. The concept of “fulfilment of desire” is proposed in the context of state policies: initially, the Greek State had constitutionally expressed the desire to promote economic development in sectors like shipping, but this desire ceased to be explicitly stated, later implicitly giving rise to a desire concerning thermalism. Besides, explicit constitutional recognition of rights relating to thermalism and tourism is recommended.
