The Municipality of Skiathos participated for the first time in the International Tourism Exhibition “IMTM 2018” held in Tel Aviv, Israel from 06/02 to 07/02.
For the Israeli market, Skiathos is a new destination which was promoted last year when approximately 700 people visited the island in May as part of a “corpo event” organized by a large banking organization.
From June 5 to October 13 there were 2 flights a week from Israel to the island of Skiathos via the Issta airline.
Forecasts for the summer season of 2018 are extremely positive since the same airline announced that it intends to use larger planes to serve the demand for the destination.
During the exhibition, the Chairman of the Tourism Development and Promotion Committee, Panayiotis Diolettas and the President of Skiathos Hotel Association Mr. Alexandros Efstathiou held meetings with Israel’s largest travel agencies, “Flying Carpet”, “Arkia tours” and “Carmel”, with the aim of attracting more groups for special events.
More than 500,000 Israelis elect Greece each year for their summer holidays and Skiathos has impressed them with its rich natural beauty.
The Municipality of Skiathos will continue its promotional activities on the Israeli market with targeted advertisements.
