Sales Seminars for Greek Hoteliers – Next Stop: Santorini

Sales Seminar on Naxos.

Following two highly successful Sales Seminars, held to inform hospitality professionals on strategies that can boost hotel bookings and revenue, the third of the series will take place Friday, October 26, at 6pm at the SantoWines Conference Center on the island of Santorini.

According to the organizers, the large number of attendees of the previous events were very eager to learn more about recent trends in the hotel sector and how to implement new technologies and strategies to boost revenue and bookings. The talks proved to be very beneficial to those participating, who followed the speakers with great interest as they explained the importance of adopting new approaches and techniques in order to stand out amongst competitors, especially in very popular tourism destinations in Greece.

The event on Santorini will give the island’s hotel owners the opportunity to hear from industry experts on how other businesses have strengthened their position and turnover by using a range of tools and technological know-how.
