The annual ASTA Destination Expo is back and
we're taking you to Athens, Greece in April 2018.
Next year, the American Society of Travel
Agents Destination Expo (ADE) is making
its way to Athens, Greece for four days,
April 14-17, to showcase this sun-kissed
destination. Every year, ADE is located in
a different international location and 2018
will take the conference to this European
city, where you'll be able to get intensive
destination education, participate in a
business-oriented trade show, and go on
sightseeing tours/FAMs so you can get a
hands-on experience of the destination.
This is the perfect opportunity to visit
Greece at an affordable price, and then
recommend it as a destination in the coming
years. Highlights include receiving firsthand destination training from local Greek
experts, and connecting face-to-face with
leading travel suppliers. During the expo,
the host hotel will be the Hilton Athens,
winner of the World Travel Awards'
"Greece Leading Business Hotel" for three
consecutive years. Hotel rates start at 148€
(sgl) and 158€ (dbl) plus tax, and include
breakfast and WiFi.

Why Athens?
As the capital of Greece and one of the
oldest cities in the world dating back to
3000 BC., Athens is a top destination for
travelers. It offers visitors the opportunity to
travel easy and quick at a very low cost on
Athens' state-of-the-art transport network,
Athens Metro, which includes 61 stations.
Its geographical position also makes traveling
to the some of the world's most beautiful
beaches and mountains accessible and
convenient. You'll have the opportunity
to discover Greece beyond Athens if you
participate in a pre- or post-FAM trip to
locations such as Mykonos, Santorini, Crete,
Thessaloniki, Meteora and other sites.
Additionally, full- and half-day sightseeing
tours will be available to sights like the
Acropolis and Cape Sounion. (Additional
fees apply for FAMs and sightseeing tours.)
