CORFU. Corfu Palma Boutique Hotel is the first hotel in Corfu and the Ionian Islands to be given the China Outbound Tourism Quality Service Certification (QSC).

The certification was awarded by the QSC Programme Executive Committee, which is supported by the China National Tourism Administration (CNTA) and represented in Greece by Tourism Generis.
 
Hotels with the China Outbound Tourism Quality Service Certification (QSC) are:
- ready to serve Chinese tourists,
- promoted via Chinese social media (WeChat)
- promoted on the QSC Programme official website.
 
The potential of the Chinese market is recognized as a given for the coming years and Europe is continuously increasing its market share as a destination for Chinese tourists – something that Greece will profit from as the main point of entry for central and northern Europe. The number of direct flights between Greece and China is increasing and within the next two years there will be direct links to at least two Chinese cities.
 
Spyros Ioannidis, manager of Corfu Palma Boutique Hotel, said that “Corfu was always and will always be at the forefront of Greek tourism and especially in efforts to break into new markets. Recognizing the potential of the Chinese market and planning for the future, Corfu Palma Boutique Hotel received the certification of the QSC Programme, hoping that others will follow suit, so that in the medium term Corfu can become an integral part of Chinese tourists’ visits to Greece and Europe.”
 
Giorgos Drakopoulos, President and CEO of Tourism Generis, said that “A developed tourism economy such as that of Greece needs progressive companies that prepare for the future. We offer warm congratulations to Corfu Palma Boutique Hotel for receiving the China Outbound Tourism Quality Service Certification (QSC). 2018 is ‘EU-China Tourism Year’, which is a unique opportunity for Greek tourism to break into the largest tourism market in the world. Corfu Palma Boutique Hotel is leading the way.”
