World Tourism Day

As part of the World Tourism Day celebrations, the Athens Tourism and Economic Development Company sponsored an event staged by the Hellenic Association of Travel and Tourism Agencies (HATTA) which took place 28 September at the New Acropolis Museum and at the Ionic Centre.

As an official City of Athens tourism organisation, ATEDCo takes part in activities that promote the tourism product of metropolitan Athens. Having adopted as a guiding philosophy the need for developing constructive relationships with other organisations and associations, it invests substantively in domestic and international networking and in the promotion of Athens, while at the same time planning further actions in this direction.

World Tourism Day is observed every year on 27 September, a date set by the World Tourism Organisation with the aim of highlighting the economic, cultural and social contribution of tourism in the progress of the international community.
