The sharp response of Italians to Halkidiki was shown during the tourist exhibition. Halkidiki has been participating in exhibitions for many years, and now it seems that it has become one of the most recognizable holiday destinations. During the presentation, the Director of Public Relations of the Halkidiki Tourism Organization, Mr. George Mprountsas, awarded the extended team of the MARKOPOLO magazine for the tribute in Halkidiki. The management of TV TV magazine and MARCOPOLO expressed interest in continuing cooperation with the Halkidiki Tourism Organization in new projects.
Another important contact was established with the official newspaper of travel agencies in Italy, Agenzia di Viaggi (1965). The owner and director of the newspaper, Cristina Ambrosini, interviewed Mr. Mpruntzas and Loredana Rinaldi, the owner of the tour operator Nessie Viaggi-Milano (made by Taylor Grecia), who promotes Halkidiki as the No. 1 destination. Well-known travel magazines, well-known in the Italian market as Dove, Bell'Europa & In Viaggio and Milano da Bere, had interesting conversations with the heads of the Halkidiki Tourism Organization, and their proposals will be considered for future cooperation.
Also in a few days, the official announcement of the Italian tour operator Aternum is expected for the Calcidica On Line program with charter flights from central Italy - Pescara to Halkidiki. Finally, it was very important to establish contacts with tour operators and alternative tourism offices, mainly with bicycles and motorcycle clubs, to organize family trips to Halkidiki.
