9th ATHENS INTERNATIONAL TOURISM & CULTURE EXPO 2022
Clear, for one more year, was the contribution of the 9th ATHENS INTERNATIONAL TOURISM & CULTURE EXPO 2022 to incoming tourism, which closed its doors with great success.
The opening ceremony of the Exhibition was held by the Minister. Tourism Mr. Vassilis Kikilia, the Deputy Minister Finance Mr. Theodoros Skylakakis and the Secretary General of the Ministry of of Tourism Mrs. Olympia Anastasopoulou in the presence of many Regional Governors and Mayors.
With 100 leading International Hosted Buyers from over 30 countries and 150 exhibitors from Greece, Romania, Bulgaria, Lithuania and Indonesia, the 9th ATHENS INTERNATIONAL TOURISM & CULTURE EXPO covered all sectors of tourism and fully satisfied the demands of the Hosted Buyers.
.
In the specially configured B2B meeting room, 600 sq.m., Hosted Buyers held more than 3,300 successful B2B meetings with the exhibitors while already from the first day the very positive climate for the signing of international partnerships for the incoming tourism of 2023 began to be seen.
An important factor in the success of B2B was the fact that the Buyers came to the exhibition with many and important tourism programs, conferences and incentives for Greece for 2023 and on the second day of their meetings with the exhibitors, many new collaborations were closed and many more others will follow. There was also great interest from the 3,500 professional visitors to the exhibition who met with the exhibitors for new collaborations.
The exhibition with all participating exhibitors, hosted buyers and visitors proved
that it is the largest and most successful international tourism exhibition in Athens and in general in Greece.
The participation of Exhibitors, companies from all tourism sectors, Regions and Municipalities that highlighted their tourist destinations, and the quality of their tourist products and services, satisfied the Hosted Buyers because they were able, through the Exhibition, to get to know new areas and to cover all their needs.
We would like to warmly thank all our participating exhibitors who for the 9th year participate and support the exhibition, the Hosted Buyers and the visitors who participated and contributed to the great success of the exhibition.
