Greece’s potential as a tourism destination and the strategies needed for further growth will be on the focus of the Delphi Economic Forum III, which will take place between March 1-4, in Delphi, central Greece.

Organized for the third consecutive year, the forum will host prominent personalities from the fields of politics, diplomacy, economy, society and academia from Greece and abroad. It is expected to attract more than 1,500 attendees and media representatives.

More than 27 million inbound tourists, not counting cruise passengers, visited Greece in 2017 according to recent data by the Bank of Greece, while this number is expected to exceed 30 million in 2018. While Greece is seeing an impressive increase in bookings, the forum’s participants will discuss on ways to enhance the quality of the services offered and create new job opportunities.
