South Aegean Region Aims to Impress at WTM London 2016

The South Aegean Region will once again give visitors to the World Travel Market (WTM) London 2016 a grand welcome once they reach the ExCeL Center entrance. For the second year, a digital pyramid consisting of electronic screens will play high quality videos starring the islands of the Cyclades and the Dodecanese. WTM London 2016 will run November 7-9.

At this year’s WTM, the South Aegean Region will participate with its own stand — no. EU 1155 — and give all the Aegean islands the chance to promote their tourist product to professionals from all tourism sectors and from different parts of the world.

The region aims to make its presence felt at WTM London 2016 and has announced that it will successfully combine the particular features of the Cyclades and the Dodecanese in a modern exhibit stand. The region’s stand this year will incorporate a variety of electronic media in order to pass on the “feeling” of the Aegean islands to WTM visitors.

Greek islands participating within the stand of the South Aegean Region will include Ios, Paros, Santorini, Folegandros, Milos, Antiparos, Tinos, Serifos, Amorgos, Mykonos and Andros from the Cyclades group and Rhodes, Kos, Kalymnos, Leros, Patmos and Astypalea from the Dodecanese group.
