Representatives of German organizations and tourism sector businesses visited Kalamata in the Peloponnese, in the context of a training trip hosted by “Willy Scharnow-Stiftung fur Touristik”, the only foundation in Germany which trains executives of tourism sector organizations and tour operators.

The familiarization (FAM) tour was aimed at creating awareness of travel options available in the region, tourist attractions and tourism infrastructures.

The Regional Authority of Peloponnese has launched tourism campaigns in European cities which include London, Vienna, Munich and Dusseldorf, while the number of flights between the airport of Kalamata and major European cities were increased in February and March. The region has already been visited by 15 representatives of agritourism enterprises from different counties and 25 tour operators and media from Poland, while two groups of tourism professionals from Slovenia are also scheduled to arrive shortly.
