Greek regional tourism promotion in New York

Overview

Greek regional authorities conducted promotional missions in New York to increase visibility in the American market and strengthen ties with the Greek diaspora.

In late October 2026, officials from Sterea Ellada held the ‘Tourism Open Days Workshop New York 2026’ in Manhattan. The mission, led by Governor Fanis Spanos and Vice Governor Fani Papathomata, connected Greek destinations with over 50 international industry representatives to promote the region’s history, gastronomy, and natural resources.

Concurrently, the Region of East Macedonia and Thrace completed a multi-level mission aimed at establishing communication with 58 American travel agents and professional tourism entities. This delegation, supported by Governor Christodoulos Topsidis, engaged in institutional meetings and visited diaspora media outlets to discuss medical tourism and international promotion. Both delegations participated in religious ceremonies at the Holy Trinity Cathedral in Manhattan, meeting with high-ranking clergy of the Ecumenical Patriarchate.
