With the cruise season in full swing, the 4th Posidonia Sea Tourism Forum will once again place the East Mediterranean on center stage. Given the geo-political challenges faced at this juncture, it will be an especially valuable opportunity to gauge trends and developments, as well as address the future of the region’s sea tourism and its recovery potential. Leading personalities and decision makers from the international cruise industry will meet with the region's stakeholders and government officials, including Greece’s Ministers of Shipping and Tourism, to discuss destination development strategies and drivers for future growth.
The Forum will be held at the Megaron Athens International Conference Centre on 23-24 May under the theme ‘Reinventing Cruising in the East Mediterranean’.
