Turkey and Greece have been building close relations with each other for quite some time and Greece will attend a large regional tourism fair in Istanbul in 2014, for the first time, with all Greek regions under one roof, daily Hurriyet reported quoting the director of the exhibition, the East Mediterranean International Tourism and Travel Exhibition (EMITT), as saying.
“Greece has never attended our exhibition as a national guest though many official agreements were signed between the tourism ministries of Greece and Turkey, although Greek regional representatives have always attended. All of these regional representatives will gather under one roof in a huge area for the first time this year,” said the director of EMITT, Hacer Aydin. Greek tourism professionals will indulge in extensive promotional activities at the fair, she added.
Syria, the main guest country of EMITT 2009, will not attend the fair this year, due to its
domestic problems, Aydin said.
“Egypt, however, keeps attending the exhibition, despite its domestic problems,” she noted. The number of participating countries is increasing year by year. The exhibition had attracted mainly Eastern European and Middle Eastern countries until a couple years ago.
“Now many other countries, from Latin America to Asia, are attending the fair,” she noted.
EMITT will be held in Istanbul from January 30 to February 2, 2014, for the 18th time, with participation from over 70 countries in around 5,000 stands. This year, the main concept will be winter tourism and health tourism.
