In general, the ongoing pandemic of COVID-19, combined with the effects of the health crisis in both the tourism and gastronomy sectors, makes it necessary to adapt to the new reality and create positive conditions for Greek tourism the next day. Therefore, the events throughout 2021 will take place online through a leading, specially designed, professional platform.
In parallel with the event for alternative tourism, there will be a simultaneous event for the agri-food sector, with a barrage of B2B meetings, seeking to highlight the benefits arising from the connection of tourism with gastronomy.
For the promotion of alternative tourism and gastronomy in Greece, another event will take place in Sweden in December 2021.
For the promotion of luxury tourism and Greek agricultural products, our company organizes the Greek Luxury Tourism & Gastronomy Workshops, having selected the following countries: Russia 5-7 May 2021, Dubai, 12-13 May 2021, USA, October 2021, and the Benelux, in November 2021.
The Greek Alternative & Luxury Tourism Workshops are addressed to tourism companies and public bodies that are interested in promoting their services and products around alternative tourism and/or luxury tourism. The Greek Gastronomy Workshops are of direct interest to export companies that wish to penetrate or strengthen their presence in key markets in Europe.
70-80 local travel agents (in the case of the United Kingdom the participation exceeded all previous ones) and tour operators of the market, and for the agricultural sector, 40-50 buyers participate in each event (importers, wholesalers, supermarket chains, delicatessens, etc.).
For the success of the events, the experienced executives of the organizing company Tourism Media & Events join forces with local PR companies, ensuring the participation of the most important professionals of the local market.
At the beginning of the online events, there will be a webinar for all participants with presentations of Greek destinations and gastronomic products. The events continue with the holding of pre-arranged meetings over 2-3 days, during which all participants will have the opportunity to present their proposals to travel agents and tour operators, or specialized professionals in imports and agriculture.
