A dynamic presence is expected from the Greek National Tourism Organization (GNTO) at the upcoming Greek Luxury Tourism & Gastronomy Workshop, organized this Wednesday, April 18, by Tourism Media & Events, focusing on one of the most promising sources of high-income travelers for Greek tourism — Qatar.
Demonstrating its firm commitment to supporting initiatives that promote Greece as a global travel destination, the GNTO will serve as the main sponsor of the Luxury Tourism & Gastronomy Workshop. The event will feature Greek destinations and tourism enterprises aspiring to establish or further strengthen their position in the Qatari and broader Middle Eastern markets.
The GNTO’s participation holds major significance, as positioning Greece as a leading destination for luxury travel and gastronomy worldwide remains a key strategic priority for the Organization.
The event will be held under the auspices of the Ministry of Tourism, with the Region of Central Macedonia as the honored region. Sponsors include MIDEAST Travel Group, the “Greek Breakfast” initiative, and the Municipality of Rethymno.
The goal of the Workshop is to elevate Greece as a premier global high-end tourism and gastronomy destination. Attracting visitors from Middle Eastern countries is of high strategic importance for Greece, which aims to expand its share of the luxury tourism segment — as travelers from this region are known for their significant spending power and willingness to invest heavily in travel experiences, thereby contributing substantially to the continued growth and development of the Greek tourism sector.
As part of the Workshop, Business-to-Business (B2B) meetings have already been scheduled between Greek and Qatari representatives operating in the luxury tourism sector.
The Greek Luxury Tourism & Gastronomy Workshops are designed for tourism enterprises and public organizations seeking to showcase their high-end services and products while promoting Greece as a leading destination. At the same time, they address agri-food businesses aiming to gain or expand their presence in Middle Eastern markets, where interest in Greek products is already notably strong.
