Moreover, FBMA Greece has mapped out activities in the framework and support of the UNWTO designation of 2017 as the International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development as well as actively participating in the "Travel in Balance" concept of Marketing Greece. These activities are aligned with the aims and philosophy of FBMA "Experience Greece" in contributing to the collective sensitisation and promotion of the sustainable tourism development.
In particular, the international delegates will be visiting and presented a showcase of hotels and restaurants of unique beauty and value in the region, which at the core of their philosophy hold sustainable tourism and environmental protection along with a social responsibility coexistence in the economic and social development of the local community.
