The increase in regular flights offered by US airlines to Athens and Thessaloniki has helped to greatly boost tourist flows from the USA, the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA) for the region of Greece said in a statement on Friday.

The Greek chapter of ASTA was awarded for the second year as the fastest growing internationally.

The list of the five best growing offices of the American Society of Travel Agents (American Society of Travel Agents) worldwide is the ASTA office in Greece, claiming a special award in Chicago, at the ASTA Global Convention, August 25, 2021.

US tourists are increasingly interested in Greek destinations and contacts between Greek and US travel agents are on the rise. As a result, 2019 is the second year in a row that the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA) has decided to recommend Greece to its members as an ideal destination for US travelers.

The American Society of Travel Advisers (ASTA) has announced that Giorgos Paliouras is the new head of its Greece chapter.

As strategic planning and communication director of the Federation of Hellenic Associations of Travel and Tourist Agencies (FedHATTA), Paliouras was instrumental in organizing ASTA's Athens Destination expo 2018 in April.

The Danish Institute in Athens is hosting a free screening of the 1910 landmark silent film "The Abyss" by Urban Gad, starring Asta Nielsen in a stunningly natural performance that helped earn the Danish actress international stardom - though it also got the film banned in Norway and Sweden, where it was considered too risque.
