Visitors at the 86th Thessaloniki International Fair (TIF) reached 45,000 this year during the trade exhibition’s first weekend, echoing pre-pandemic levels of 2019.
This year’s honored country is the United Arab Emirates (UAE), with recorded meetings between Greece-based companies and those in the former exceeding 600.
In terms of domestic representation, 46 regional chambers of commence and 320 individual companies from around the country are participating at this year’s TIF.
Greece’s biggest and largest trade exhibition and convention is under the auspices of the interior ministry (Macedonia-Thrace unit), and doors are open daily from 16.00 to 22.00.
Speaking earlier this month, the president of TIF-Helexpo SA, Tasos Tzikas, the organizer of the trade exhibition and the owner of the site, underlined that the UAE pavilion is “probably the most impressive pavilion ever in the history of the fair.”
The pavilion is located on an area of 5,000 square meters and hosts authentic Bedouin tents.
A delegation of 300-400 people, and more than 50 major business groups and government agencies from the UAE, are in Thessaloniki.
The mission is headed by UAE Minister of the Economy Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri.
