Important meetings with tourism professionals from the Middle East are being held by Greek travel agencies through the participation of FedHATTA and HATTA in the 32^nd international tourism exhibition in Dubai, Arabian Travel Market (ATM), which takes place from April 28 to May 1, 2025 at the Dubai World Trade Centre.

FedHATTA and its member travel agencies are participating in the most important tourism exhibition in the Middle East – which produces professional agreements worth 2.5 billion dollars – through the GNTO pavilion, holding B2B meetings to strengthen the tourism flow to Greece and to benefit outbound tourism in the Middle East.

The travel flow from the Arab world to Greece is of great interest to Greek tourism and is evolving upwards, attracting high-value visitors. These travelers show a strong interest in getaways in the Cyclades and Athens. And Corfu, Halkidiki and Thessaloniki are emerging destinations that fit the profile of these travelers, as they suit the lifestyle, travel habits and the way of entertainment they seek.

The president of FedHATTA, Lysandros Tsilidis, stated: “Once again we are participating in a world-class exhibition with great interest for our country’s inbound and outbound tourism. The Arab market, by introducing a category of customers with quality characteristics to Greek tourism, is increasingly demonstrating the high attractiveness of Greek destinations. The Federation’s goal is to introduce destination options to this market and to intensify demand for them through the targeted approach of tourism professionals, further developing what has been progressively built in recent years.” In this context, as Mr. Tsilidis underlines, “FedHATTA continues to promote Greek destinations that are already popular in the Arab market, but the goal is also to strengthen the travel interest of Arabs for the South Aegean and Crete.”
