Lebanon was nominated the Honored Country in 5^th Athens International Tourism Expo 2018 (December 7-9), participating with a large number of Lebanese tourism organizations and companies involved in both incoming and outgoing tourism.

This official state participation has been undertaken by the Lebanese Ministry of Tourism, with the collaboration of the Embassy of Lebanon in Greece. The Ministry selected a very large space for hosting many Lebanese tourism Organizations and Companies, which will have a unique opportunity to get in touch with hundreds of Greek Hoteliers, Tourism Companies, Travel Agencies and DMC who will participate as exhibitors and also by thousands of visitors.

Lebanon’s state participation at the 5^th Athens International Tourism Expo will provide exhibitors with an excellent opportunity for B2B meetings and high-level trade agreements.

In recent years there has been a large increase in tourism activity between Lebanon and Greece, especially since the start of direct flights from Aegean and MEA and several charter flights. For Greece, Lebanon is considered a new but stable emerging market, interested in sea, pilgrimage tourism,  gastronomy, shopping and city breaks.
