Conference tourism in Greece has been hit hard by the pandemic, ANA reports.
The official branch of Hapco (Hellenic Association of Professional Congress Organisers) reported 70% of losses in the turnover.
The pandemic “hit” the country while it had begun to rise spectacularly as a conference destination in European and international rankings. But the largest percentage of international conferences was postponed for next year, while about 20 pct were canceled outright, Hapco noted in a statement.
The losses from the cancellation of conferences and events (Greek and international) is estimated at around 1.7 billion euros.
