This is Athens-CVB at the Destination Weddings Tourism Forum 2026
On 29 April 2026, our team attended the inaugural Destination Weddings Tourism Forum - Greece, held at the Aegli Zappeion in Athens. Organised by the Greek Destination Planners Association (GDPA), the event established a dedicated platform to discuss the country's standing in the rapidly expanding international wedding market.
Connecting with Sector Specialists
Direct engagement with targeted planners helps us expand commercial opportunities for Athens. During the forum, we connected with professionals across the wider event supply chain, including lead wedding planners, destination designers, venue owners, decorators and entertainment providers. These discussions provided a practical overview of the operational support required for large-scale, multi-day private events.
Advancing High Value Tourism
Destination weddings represent a rapidly expanding and highly valuable segment of modern travel. These gatherings operate as comprehensive travel experiences that combine multi-day stays, local hospitality and authentic moments for guests. This extended visitor footprint delivers direct economic benefits to local businesses while enhancing the international brand of the host destination.
Tracking emerging travel sectors ensures our destination management remains highly targeted.
