According to reports from representatives of the tourist industry of the United States and visitors to the Greek National Tourism Organisation (EOT) kiosk, during the three-day New York Times Travel Show, Greece is one of the favorite holiday destinations for American tourists. The show was held from February 28 to March 2, at the Javits Centre, in western Manhattan.
“It was a great success and a very important exhibit for Greece. There was a long line of visitors at the Greek kiosk who wanted information on tourism in Greece. Most knew quite a few things about Greek history and the islands and were looking for the one thing that differentiated Greece from other places they had been to; they knew they could find this difference, this uniqueness, in Greece,” reported the head of EOT’s office in the United States, Grigoria Kamaterou, to Athens-Macedonian News Agency.
She added that EOT along with the Greek Tourism Ministry and the Minister Olga Kefalogianni are promoting the country in order to enter specific tourist markets. She also stated that 2014 is expected to be a record year for Greek tourism.
The Greek kiosk was visited by government officials and tourism industry professionals from several countries participating in the exhibition, as well as the Consul General of Greece in New York, George Iliopoulos, consul Manolis Kampourakis and Director of Press and Communication Office of Greece, Nikos Papaconstantinou.
