Belgians get to know us more and more and now they are looking for us in the
tourist lists, where we will soon be added”, said the member of the
Organization, Dimitris Polizos, and added, “just three years ago we were ‘fighting’
to inform the audience and get the visitors to listen us. Today, the picture is
quite different: the massive attendance at our booth and search for our brand name
makes us talk more confidently about the existence of demand.” According to

Thessaloniki and Rynair thickens the weekly flights, we can claim a big part of
the tourism pie.
