Greek Panorama 2017 - Greece Glowed In The Heart Of Manhattan
Great success of the 1st exhibition about Greek tourism in the iconic Grand Central Terminal! Tens of thousands of New Yorkers saw and photographed the brand "Greece"!
The first Greek Panorama exhibition in New York was completed with great success and impressive impact on the American public and tourism professionals, opening a new chapter in the history of Greece's exposure to the US market.
The first Greek Panorama exhibition in New York was completed with great success and impressive impact on the American public and tourism professionals, opening a new chapter in the history of Greece's exposure to the US market.
Vanderbilt Hall, at the eastern side of the iconic Grand Central Terminal, in the “heart” of Manhattan, was filled with colors, images, traditional music and flavors of Greece, surprising and exciting the transit passengers and visitors.
Tens of thousands of New Yorkers and tourists from other countries saw and photographed the brand "Greece" these two days (May 12-13, 2017), creating a sweeping “wave” of posts and “selfies” in social media.
Greek melodies from two bouzoukis, as well as the traditional dance groups of the Academy of Hellenic Paideia, the Chian Federation of America and the Cypriot Federation excited visitors creating a unique atmosphere.
It should be highlighted that during the exhibition huge quantities of informative material, both of the organization and of the exhibitors who participated in Greek Panorama, were distributed. Among them, more than 20,000 issues of the “Hellas Blu” and “Greece Is” magazines were distributed. It was the first release and distribution for Hellas Blu at the exhibition, which will be published three times a year and distributed exclusively in the US market.
The inauguration of Greek Panorama was attended by significant members of the Greek-American Community of New York, such as His Eminence Archbishop Demetrios, Geron of America, MP Carolyn Maloney, Permanent Representatives of Greece and Cyprus to the UN, ambassadors Aikaterini Boura and Kornelios Korneliou respectively, The Consul General of Greece, Dr. Konstantinos Koutras, Consul Manos Koumparakis, Press Office Director of the Greece to the United Nations Athanasia Papatriadafyllou, Director of Greek National Tourism Organization in USA and Canada Grigoria Kamaterou, President of the Federation of Hellenic Societies of the Greater New York Petros Galatoulas, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Atlantic Bank Nancy Papaioannou, tourist businessman Peter Vlitas of the Travel Leaders Group, as well as celebrities and famous friends of Greece.
The Greek Food Corner, which was operating in the exhibition area, was offered by the Kellari restaurant.
The great success of Greek Panorama is also of particular importance due to the difficulty of the whole project, as the technical and functional specifications of such an exhibition at Grand Central Terminal are extremely complex and rigorous.
Greek Panorama B2B Sessions: More than 380 business meetings!
The organizers’ initiative for the Professionals Day at Greek Panorama on Thursday, May 11, at Kellari restaurant, left excellent impressions and noted a great success. About 30 tour operators, tourist business executives, professionals and journalists from New York City and neighboring large urban centers had the opportunity to meet representatives of destinations and tourist companies from the Greek market, to get informed about their products and services and explore new collaborations.
From morning to late at night, it is estimated that more than 380 meetings were held, while the American professionals’ feedback on the event, the participants and the venue was enthusiastic. Most, in fact, already requested to ensure their participation in the next event.
Greek Panorama B2B Sessions participations from Greece included Sani Resort, Aqua Vista Hotels, Maris Hotels, Hilton Athens, Grace Santorini, Afea Travel & Congress, Luxury Greece DMC & Travel, Instayacht, ChrisCrossing VIP Travel Services, Travel Smart, Timothy's Travel - Dreams Give Wings Travel, Big Blue Travel, Argo Travel, TravelWay, Variety Cruises, Sky Express and Cyprus Tourism Organization.
