CORFU. Together with Corfu Chefs΄ Club.

Deputy Mayor for Tourism Vassilis Kavadias held a meeting at the Corfu Palace Hotel yesterday to discuss preparations for the Corfu Food and Wine Festival which took place for the first time last May.

Mr. Kavadias updated everyone on the response of the festival partners and invitations that have been received.

The Greek National Tourism Organization has invited the Festival and Corfu Chefs' Club to promote the island's cuisine at Vakantiebeurs Tourism Fair in Utrecht in January and the Marco Polo System GEIE has invited them to a Festival in Venice in February.

In the discussion that followed it was decided to set up a management company in order to better organize the next Festival.

The Deputy Regional Governor for Corfu Nikoletta Pandi informed the meeting that the Regional Administration considered it to be an important event and will provide funding.

There will be another meeting next week to deal with the setting up of the new company.
