Key Tourism Figures 2019: Irene Tolis, President, Hellenic Association of Professional Congress Organizers

Our local industry’s commitment is to deliver impeccable services and create memorable experiences for organisers and delegates

Greece has rightfully regained its position among the 25 most attractive destinations for Conferences and Events in the world.

Greece is home to words whose meaning echo emotions in our hearts and minds. History, to know where we come from, Democracy, to feel safe, Agora, to hear and to be heard, Symposia, to gather and exchange views, Mythos, to tell stories and create legends, Atlas, to choose destinations, Chronos to travel, Muses to inspire, Eros to love, Comedy to laugh, Drama to cry, Nostalgia, to return, Heroes, to aspire, Gastronomy, to savor and Climate, to protect and enjoy during an incentive trip or conference!

SO many emotions emanate from just a few words. Can you imagine experiencing them all in a single visit, an incentive or a conference to Greece?
