Dear Sir/Madam,
I
ts
rich cultural heritage, unique natural environment and mild climate, as
well as its multifaceted tourism resources render Greece the ideal destination
for world-class congress tourism, events and incentive travels.
We should not forget that the concept of the congresses was born in Ancient
Greece with the Delphic Ampyctionies. Contemporary Greece has significantly
improved its infrastructure. Boasting great projects such as, the
airport "Eleftherios Venizelos", one of the largest and technologically advanced
worldwide, the bridge of Rio-Antirio, modern road infrastructure, athletic
centers and stadiums, the continuous construction of large congress
and exhibition centres, a plethora of luxury hotels with congress facilities and
experienced congress organizers, Greece aims very high.
Among the top priorities of the congress sector's professional and the relevant
public authorities -such as the Ministry of Tourism, the Ministry of Development,
the Greek National Tourism Organization (GNTO),and the Hellenic
Association of Professional Congress Organizers (HAPCO) - is the promotion
of the country's competitiveness, the qualitative improvement of services,
and the establishment of information offices for Congress Tourism in all major
Greek cities, such has the Athens Conventions and Visitors Bureau
(ACVB), the Thessaloniki Conventions and Visitors Bureau (TCVB), the Conventions
and Visitors Information Centre of Edessa City, and relevant offices
that will operate soon in Rhodes, Crete and Patra.
The co-ordinated efforts made by all agencies will assist our country in
gaining a much larger segment of the international competitive congressmarket
and to be recognized as an ideal choice and destination for congresses,
events, incentive travel and a number of other organized and specialized
events that make-up the congress-tourism industry.
Through comprehensive digital and electronic promotion proposals presented
to the Greek and international markets, HELLENIC SUN EDITIONS
makes a significant contribution in promoting our country as a unique, ideal
congress destination, through the provision of all necessary information regarding
the potential of Greece and the country's professionals. Through the
information provided with its digital editions and the web pages

Yours faithfully,
Konstantinos Konstantaras
