Greece won four top honors during this year’s American Travvy Awards, which are characterized as the Oscars of the American tourism industry.

• Best (gold) destination in the Mediterranean (Best Destination – Mediterranean),
• Best (gold) International Cruise Destination (Best Cruise Destination International),
• Best Luxury Destination International, and
• second best (silver) international adventure tourism destination (Silver Expedition / Adventure Destination International).
Each year, the Travvy Awards recognize and award the top international destinations, tour operators and travel / travel companies, as selected by executives from the country’s tourism industry. This year, more than 90,000 professionals in the tourism market took part in the voting, expressing their preferences in 140 sub-categories.
The awards ceremony took place last week in Miami, USA, with the presence of executives from the American tourism industry, representatives of national tourism organizations and numerous journalists.
The Greek awards were received by the head of the EOT Service USA and Canada, Konstantinos Harokopos.
