Mark Tanzer, Abta chief executive, said: “Rich in natural beauty and a remarkable cultural heritage, this emerging area of Greece is a brilliant addition to the country’s tourism offering. I know our delegates will thoroughly enjoy experiencing everything the area has to offer and raising its profile with UK travellers.
“We’re returning to Greece at a time when the country is developing its tourism offering to attract visitors all-year round. With UK holidaymakers increasingly looking to travel out of peak season, I’m excited to offer the opportunity for delegates to explore this destination, which has seen continued development since it hosted the convention almost 10 years ago.”
Eleni Skarveli, GNTO director UK and Ireland, added the opportunity for Greece to host the convention again would “solidify and deepen” its partnership with Abta and the UK and Irish tourism sector “across all levels”.
“Nestled in the heart of the Peloponnese, we are eagerly anticipating the opportunity to showcase the epitome of Greek hospitality, the splendour of nature, and the rich cultural tapestry to the British tourism elite,” said Skarveli. “We are particularly pleased that Abta’s convention will align with Greece’s philosophy of a shared commitment to environmental and social responsibility.”
