- On 22nd April a delegation of nearly 60 professional tour-operator-buyers, recruited by ETOA, will come to Athens for a familiarisation visit and to take part in a workshop where each buyer will have a series of up to 32 meetings with relevant local suppliers, such as hotels and visitor attractions.
- Our cooperation with ETOA, such an esteemed and high profile partner in the field of tourism internationally, has proven to be a valuable asset to the City's effort to showcase Athens, effectively and reliably to the international tourism professionals' community.
- For Athens to incorporate this workshop element is a major development in the engagement between a destination and the people who sell it around the world.
