WTM London 2024 Special
Greece will once again participate in the World Travel Market (WTM) London, the most influential travel and tourism event for the global community, unlocking business opportunities for both inbound and outbound tourism professionals.
At the Greek National Tourism Organization’s (GNTO) stand — Visit Greece — located at N2-220 and N2-520, Greece will present an impressive array of offerings that encompass every facet of its tourism product, along with various events.
This year is particularly special as WTM London has announced the GNTO as its premier partner, showcasing the destination’s dynamic cultural experiences and year-round opportunities. This prestigious partnership will ensure positive global exposure for Greece among WTM’s unparalleled international audience, highlighting the country’s significant investments in maintaining its status as one of the world’s top leisure destinations.
The Visit Greece stand will host approximately 100 exhibitors, including representatives from Greek regions and municipalities, airlines, hoteliers, travel agents, destination management companies (DMCs), associations, and start-ups.
