The Hellenic Tourist Organisation in London has been lobbying hard to lure the second largest travel conference (behind ASTA) in the world to the Kipriotis Village`s KICC centre. The other contender, Lisbon in Portugal, is anxiously awaiting the official decision on 28th July.
This year, some 2600 delegates will head to Cairns in Australia on 26-29 November for the ABTA bash.
