World Travel Market, ExCeL, London.

Greece will attend the World Travel Market (WTM) in London, the leading global and must-attend four-day business-to-business exhibition for the worldwide travel and tourism industry.

WTM 2015 will open its doors on Monday, 2 November, at ExCeL – London and run until Thursday, 5 November.

WTM London, now in its 36th year, is the event where the travel industry conducts and concludes its deals.

Greek cuisine & competitions at GNTO stand

The Greek stand will be open to media and tourism professionals for a Greek breakfast daily between 10 and 11 am and lunch between Tuesday and Thursday between 12 -1 pm, so this is a great way to do some networking while sampling some of Greece’s best traditional flavours.
