Under the motto: “One Voice, One Expression” hotel associations and chamber representatives met at the Magnesia Chamber offices in Volos this week, where they presented a business plan and discussed the final details for the establishment of the body.

Sectors professionals, including Kalambaka Deputy Mayor for Tourism Konstantinos Rados, Kalambaka Hotel Association president Sotiris Famisis, Lamia Hotel Association president Katerina Koutra and Evrytania Hoteliers Union secretary Sofia Flega, who had again met on January 27 in Lamia, were given a tour of the Nea Anchialos Airport.
