Venue: Helexpo / Thessaloniki / Greece
The International Tourism Exhibition Philoxenia is a major event in south – east Europe and Mediterranean area for the tourism market. This area, with a faster than average growing rate in incoming (and outbound) tourism, is becoming a “sine qua non” element for the portfolio of every travel agent. The current economic crisis has reduced these rates but 2010 is forecasted to “get back to normal”.
Greece is not the only player – many new rising destinations from the region showcase their best, from Serbia and Czech Republic to Turkey and Tunisia, and Russia to Jordan, tourism organizations and enterprises display the widest range of tourism products – all the emerging markets of this part of the world are concentrated in a 4 day productive show that you can’t afford to miss!
Philoxenia (meaning “hospitality” in Greek language) takes place every November, in the International Exhibition Center of Helexpo at Thessaloniki city, in Northern Greece, just 30 minutes flight from Athens.
Philoxenia’s objective goal is not only to reinforce and enhance the presence and image of its exhibitors in the Greek and international market, but also to bring about direct and measurable benefits for all participants.
To ensure positive effects for all exhibitors, a hosted buyers program (from 30 countries in 2008) is in effect, while a series of parallel events offer insights to a region of great potential.
Foreign trade visitors to the 24th PHILOXENIA came from 30 countries, namely: Albania, Australia, Austria, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, France, FYR of Macedonia, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Jordan, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, Tunisia, Ukraine, the United Arab Emirates and the United States of America.
Exhibiting in Philoxenia with 20.000 visitors for 2007 and 800 exhibitors from Greece and abroad, in 11.000 square meters venue, offers an unrivalled platform for tourism enterprises and destinations.
Our company Travel Media Applications is the organiser of the Hosted Buyers Program since 2005 and also acts as an International Sales Agent.
