EVENTS

Emphasis on the presentation of Solutions for Luxury Accommodation, Rural Tourism and Glamping, the largest Hotel Sales and Technology Section, as well as a completely new philosophy in terms of the image and construction of Pavilions, will be some of the new elements of the completely renewed 2023 Exhibition.

With the hotel market being transformed into something completely new, as accommodation is acquiring a more specific identity towards Luxury Tourism, and the exhibition sector facing particular challenges due to the sharp increase in the cost of constructing stands, the new 100% Hotel Show is making its boldest change. Thus, in the upcoming Event that will take place on 18-20 November at MEC Peania, it presents a new type of Exhibition with emphasis on the highlighting of Upgraded Accommodation, which can be an essential pillar of the new era of Greek tourism, as well as on Conceptual Pavilion Proposals, which will facilitate the hosting of a wide range of real Solutions, for essential business deals.

2. NEW CONCEPT FOR HOTEL ACCOMMODATION & PRESENTATION

Εκτός από τα περίπτερα ειδικής κατασκευής από τους εκθέτες, η Διοργάνωση (κατόπιν προσεκτικής μελέτης) έχει δημιουργήσει νέους, conceptual τύπους αναβαθμισμένων περιπτέρων, με ιδιαίτερο design, αλλά ελεγχόμενο κόστος. Στόχος είναι να διευκολυνθούν οι εταιρείες που διαθέτουν ιδιαίτερες λύσεις και έχουν αξιολογηθεί θετικά από την ομάδα του 100% Hotel Show να συμμετέχουν, ξεπερνώντας το εμπόδιο του κατασκευαστικού κόστους του περιπτέρου. Μ’ αυτόν τον τρόπο, γίνεται πιο ουσιώδης η επίσκεψη ξενοδόχων, επαγγελματιών τουρισμού και αρχιτεκτόνων, συναντώντας μεγάλη ποικιλία προϊόντων και υπηρεσιών, αλλά και πιο ξεκάθαρη επικοινωνία των σχετικών λύσεων.
