Comparing to last year, the total tourist flow to Greece increased by 18% in 2013, at the same time the profit of the travel sector grew by 20%.
Basing on the number of Russian tourists, 2013 beat the record: starting from January 2013 over a million of Russians have visited Greece. Very recently that number seemed to be quite ambitious to achieve.
That is why participation in Greek Forum is becoming more prestigious either for Greek hoteliers or travel agencies in Russia. Since 2011 the program of Greek Forum was intensified with academic section to help professors and students from schools of hospitality or young travel industry professionals to gain advanced and ultimately applicable knowledge.
In 2014 the Greek Forum will be attended by travel agents from Ukraine, Armenia and Azerbaijan. Greek hoteliers get new opportunities to present their properties, and Russian travel agents can change their oppinions about the trends in travel business in different countries.
Greek Forum is an annual event for travel industry professionals from Russia and Greece. Starting from 2007 it is traditionally organized in the beginning of the summer season.
