Aristotelis Thomopoulos, president of Helexpo, inaugurates the 24th Philoxenia tourism exhibition. During his speech, he underlined the fact that this year's exhibition is improved and more commercial given the participation of 25 foreign countries, the high attendance of tourism agencies and the strong presence of the hotel equipment exhibition Hotelia and the Philoxenia Spa Expo. In the background is the proposed new slogan for Greece’s new promotional campaign: “Greece is You.”
