leisure tourism

The mission and action plan of the Athens Tourism and Economic Development Company (ATEDCο) aim to promote Athens in the global tourism market, and to make the City one of the leading global destinations for urban and business tourism. These were presented today at an official event held at the New Acropolis Museum.

Compared to leisure tourism, convention tourism is proving to be more sustainable during the global economic slump. This is one of the conclusions reached at the 4th International Conference of the United Nations World Tourism Organisation

Athens Tourism and Economic Development Company (ATEDCo) participated with notable success in the 3rd International City Tourism 'City Break 2008'. This unparalleled international exhibition of 'City Breaks' was held in Belgrade on the 9th and 10th June, whereas in 2007 it had been organised in Athens, with overwhelming success, and to a very positive response from both participants and visitors.
