Turkish Airlines Promotes Greek Tourism at Athens Event

As part of its efforts to further develop its activities in the Greek market and promote Greek destinations, Turkish Airlines recently held a workshop in Athens, with the participation of 60 travel agencies from Greece and Málaga, Spain.

The event included a number of B2B meetings between travel agents, who promoted destinations of both countries and discussed business opportunities, tourism products and services.

“Turkish Airlines seeks to further promote Athens and Thessaloniki as destinations included in its global network and gateways to Greece’s beauties,” said Turkish Airlines General Manager for Greece Alp Yavuzeser.

“Last year we served 550,000 customers, who traveled from and to Greece. We are proud to be part of the constantly developing Greek market and contribute for one more year to its record of arrivals,” he added.

The workshop was organized in collaboration with Málaga – Costa Del Sol Region and the Spanish Tourism Organization.
