About 50 Russian tour operators will attend a Greek-Russian tourism forum in Athens on Sunday 10th of February at the Acropolis Museum.
The invitation was sent by the organization of the hotel chamber and according to Capital’s sources the number of the tour operators that finally accepted the call was a “pleasant surprise”.
The purpose of the forum is to attract a larger share of tourists from Russia and prospects seem to be very positive since arrivals from Russia in 2012 increased around 23.7% compared to 2011.
Visitors from Russia are among the three biggest spenders in Greece as it is estimated that every Russian tourist spends 20 percent more money on average than the next highest ranked tourist by country of origin.
