American Travel Agents to visit Corfu in April
NEW YORK. American travel agents will be visiting Corfu in April when they come to Greece for their major annual conference.
The ASTA Destination Expo 2018 – the biggest American Travel Agents, Destination Expo conference - will take place in Athens from 14-17 April. Following the Expo, from 18th to 22nd April there will be a series of fam trips and the agents will visit eight Greek destinations, including Corfu.
The Expo is one of the major and most innovative ASTA conferences. ASTA members represent 80% of tourist package sales in America via travel agencies. The conference will benefit the promotion of Corfu greatly as the heads of tourist organizations and travel agencies will have the opportunity to visit the island and promote it as a destination in the coming years.
It should be mentioned that the Minister for Tourism, Elena Kountoura, has been endeavouring to promote Greece as a conference destination and the Corfu deputy mayor for tourism, Vassilis Kavadias, along with HATTA board member, Vassilis Kontos, fought hard to have Corfu included in the eight Greek destinations chosen for the fam trips. In order to ensure the best possible schedule for the Americans’ visit to Corfu, Messrs Kavadias and Kontos are meeting with the ASTA president in Athens next Tuesday.
