An event entitled “The Ionian islands, champions in sustainable tourism, culture, originality and luxury” will be held on Wednesday afternoon in Dubai in the context of the Ionian islands’ participation in the international exhibition EXPO DUBAI 2020.
A gastronomic dinner with tastes from the Ionian islands will follow.
The international exhibition, originally planned for 2020, was postponed due to the pandemic. The Ionian Islands Region’s participation is supported by Fraport, the Ionian University and the major hotel groups of the islands.
Special meetings with airlines and tour operators will be held in the next two days.
“For the first time the region is taking part in an international exhibition and for the first time, a region, public and private agencies are joining forces for its promotion and development,” the regional governor of the Ionian islands Rodi Kratsa underlined.

The Greek Pavilion
At Expo 2020, the Greek Pavilion was designed with the myth of the Cretan maze and Ariadne’s thread in mind. The story of the labyrinth from Greek mythology is a tale of discovery and breakthroughs, reminding us of how to find our way through the perplexing maze.
Greece has left behind the period of economic recession and is now a key player in the economic environment of trade and investment. With a concrete analytical plan, Greece is now considered as one of the countries leading the way to the future, aiming to become a trend-setter in innovation, technology, and digital transformation. Greece’s impressive presence in EXPO 2020 Dubai is a unique opportunity to demonstrate all the achievements that have made Greece a secure investment destination.
