Athens has won two prestigious awards at the World Travel Awards (WTA) European Gala Ceremony 2022, which took place recently in Mallorca, Spain. 

The World Travel Awards are renowned as the premier organisation that honours and recognises the brightest stars in the European travel and tourism sector.

Athens won the Ultimate Travel Award for Europe’s Leading Cultural City Destination while going up against worldwide icons like Paris, Rome, Lisbon, Edinburgh, Prague and Venice.  

The title of Europe’s Leading City Tourist Board was the Greek capital’s second significant victory with Berlin, Madrid, Lisbon, London and Rome nominated in the same category.

The Municipality of Athens said in an announcement that the honour of winning these prestigious titles comes as recognition of the efforts made to strengthen the city’s tourist development following its ranking as 6th top meeting and conference destination in Europe and 8th in the world by the International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA).

Mayor of Athens Kostas Bakoyannis said that the recognition demonstrates the city’s recent improvements in tourism-related performance. 

He went on to thank the city’s Development and Destination Management Agency (ADDMA) and the This is Athens-Convention & Visitors Bureau for all its efforts. 

“Athens now has upgraded tourist infrastructure and services and can be an ideal year–round destination offering unique authentic experiences,” the mayor said.
