Attica Region Eyes Austrian Holidaymakers, Promotes Athens, Saronic Isles
As part of its ongoing campaign to promote Attica as a prime all-year-round tourist destination, the Attica Region participated in this year’s Ferien-Messe Wein show, which ran on January 15-18 in Vienna.
The Attica Region, in collaboration with the Greek National Tourist Organization (GNTO), introduced Austrians to the region’s diverse tourist offerings, which include the Saronic isles and Athens, among others.
During the show, the regional office authorities and the GNTO ran a promotional competition, winners of which will get to stay in Attica and tour the region for three days.
In the coming months, the Attica Region will participate in Berlin’s ITB, Moscow’s MITT and Frankfurt’s IMEX, among other international tourism shows.
Austria’s leading public access tourism trade fair, the Ferien-Messe Wien involves more than 700 exhibitors from over 70 countries.
In the meantime, Athens is running among 19 other European cities as “European Best Destination 2015”. The competition, which runs through to February 10, is an initiative of the Brussels-based European Best Destinations (EBD) organization, aiming to promote tourism in Europe.
