Yachting sessions will evaluate the potential of organizing top class yachting events in Greece, the adequacy of current international legislation (especially regarding crew welfare), the effects of ILO regulations on the yachting industry, Greece’s current failings (taxation, infrastructure, services, etc.) and necessary solutions to capitalize on its true potential, marina privatization and development prospects, and finally, future market targeting and long term market development.
There will also be a special session on coastal shipping, mainly to examine the sector’s current serious difficulties in Greece, evaluate their effect on tourism and address urgent breakthrough solutions.
A new feature of the Posidonia Sea Tourism Forum will be the enlarged exhibition space. The exhibition will provide the ideal marketing platform for ports & destinations, hotels & resorts, airports, tourist service providers, technical support companies, sector publishers, new technologies, yacht managers & brokers, yacht interiors specialists and marinas.
