The Region of Crete recently showcased the island’s top tourist attractions to tour operators in Budapest, aiming to boost its presence in the Hungarian market.

The event dedicated to Crete was organized by tour operator TUI Hungary and gave local authorities the opportunity to implement their strategy to promote the island to an international audience.

Marking the recent launch of the twice-weekly direct flight between Budapest and Heraklion by WizzAir, 80 tour operators were introduced to Crete’s tourism potential and appeal as an ideal holiday destination.

During a detailed presentation, the Deputy Governor of Tourism, Kyriakos Kotsoglou, emphasized the island’s unique features and explained how the tourism promotion strategy provides participants with the necessary tools to boost their sales for the destination.

On the sidelines of the event, Grecotel, Atlantica Hotels, and Domes Resorts, three leading hotel chains operating on the island, briefed the tour operators on their facilities and top-notch services they offer visitors to Crete, enhancing the overall experience.

“A direct WizzAir flight from Budapest to Heraklion, a major tour operator, and three large hotel groups are compelling reasons for a meeting that the Region of Crete could not miss,” Kotsoglou noted.

The Budapest-Heraklion route launched in June and will run until September.
