The Region of Attica was honored with the title of “Best Greek Hospitality Region” during the prestigious Greek Hospitality Awards 2024, held in Athens.
While accepting the award, Attica’s Regional Governor Nikos Hardalias expressed that this recognition is not his alone; it is shared with all those who have tirelessly worked together to reposition Metropolitan Attica in some of the world’s most dynamic markets through an all-encompassing rebranding effort.
Hardalias elaborated, “In Attica’s endeavor, the fundamentals are not simply given; they require effort, dynamism, and, most importantly, faith and consistency in our goal. This is what we’re accomplishing in the Region through a specific strategic plan that incorporates the pillars of our tourism narrative: culture, gastronomy, walking trails, and the historic landmarks of Attica.”
He also emphasised that the average duration of visitors’ stays and their spending have significantly increased due to a more strategic promotion of the greater Athens area under the “Visit Attica The Greater Athens Region” initiative.
The governor remarked, “We understand that our responsibility is substantial and unique, but this is something we will build step-by-step, day by day, so Attica can move forward—and only forward.”
Celebrating its tenth anniversary, the Greek Hospitality Awards is one of Europe’s foremost tourism industry events, dedicated to acknowledging and promoting the most innovative organizations, institutions, and businesses within the Greek tourism sector.
The award recognizes the tourism initiatives led by the new administration to elevate the region’s highly regarded tourism offerings.
These efforts have already yielded positive outcomes, evident in the region’s expanded global market presence and enhanced visitor quality indicators, sustaining robust tourism across all 12 months of the year.
