The Chamber of Heraklion addresses an open invitation to the companies of the Regional Unit of Heraklion that are active in Tourism and Gastronomy in order to participate in online events and B2B meetings in the respective sectors.

The actions aim to promote alternative tourism, with emphasis on Luxury Tourism, and Greek gastronomy in nine of the most important markets abroad. These are the following side events:

Greek Alternative & Luxury Tourism Workshops, which are addressed to Tourism Businesses and Public Bodies that are interested in promoting their services and products around alternative tourism and / or luxury tourism.
Greek Gastronomy Workshops, which are of direct interest to export companies wishing to penetrate or strengthen their presence in key markets in Europe.
70-80 local travel agents and tour operators of the respective market participate in each event in terms of markets for tourism, and for the agri-food sector, 40-50 buyers (importers, wholesalers, supermarket chains, delicatessen, etc.). ), with which all participants will have the opportunity to have pre-arranged online meetings lasting 2-3 days.
