ABTA Invites You to Experience the Best of Greece at the 2024 Travel Convention in Costa Navarino

Saturday, March 16, 2024

ABTA is excited to confirm that Costa Navarino in Greece will host the 2024 ABTA Travel Convention, taking place from October 7-9, 2024. This prestigious event will unite industry professionals in the stunning southwest Peloponnese region of Messinia, celebrating the latest in travel and tourism.

The Greek National Tourism Organisation takes pride in its role as the Host Partner for this significant gathering.

Situated along the pristine coastline of the Ionian Sea, Costa Navarino is a burgeoning resort complex that features luxurious accommodations, state-of-the-art conference facilities, internationally acclaimed spas, premier golf courses, and exquisite private residences.

To date, the ambitious development has completed two of its four planned phases. The first phase, Navarino Dunes, had the honor of hosting the 2015 Travel Convention shortly following its inauguration. The subsequent phase, Navarino Bay, is home to two lavish five-star resorts, a championship golf course, and, commencing in April, The Agora will be open. This new addition serves as a vibrant center for shopping, dining, bars, and cultural experiences.

Details regarding travel to the local Kalamata airport, including recommended flights for attendees, will be made available in due course, ensuring a seamless experience for all guests.

Mark Tanzer, ABTA Chief Executive, said:

“I am very pleased to reveal Costa Navarino as the host destination for our 2024 Travel Convention. Rich in natural beauty and a remarkable cultural heritage, this emerging area of Greece is a brilliant addition to the country’s tourism offering. I know our delegates will thoroughly enjoy experiencing everything the area has to offer and raising its profile with UK travellers.

“We’re returning to Greece at a time when the country is developing its tourism offering to attract visitors all-year round. With UK holidaymakers increasingly looking to travel out of peak season, I’m excited to offer the opportunity for delegates to explore this destination, which has seen continued development since it hosted the Convention almost ten years ago.”

Eleni Skarveli, Director of the Greek National Tourism Organisation in UK & Ireland, said:

“We are absolutely delighted to be the host of ABTA’s esteemed 2024 Travel Convention, solidifying and deepening our exceptional partnership across all levels. Nestled in the heart of the Peloponnese, we are eagerly anticipating the opportunity to showcase the epitome of Greek hospitality, the splendour of nature, and the rich cultural tapestry to the British tourism elite.

“We are particularly pleased that ABTA’s Convention will align with Greece’s philosophy of a shared commitment to environmental and social responsibility. We are confident that the environment of Costa Navarino will seamlessly harmonise to offer a unique and discerning experience to all participants.”
