100% Hotel Show in Crete
For the first time, the 100% Hotel Show announces two different events for 2024, evolving its exhibition model to international standards.
While Athens remains the destination for the main exhibition in November, adapting its format to new exhibition dynamics, the show sets its spring rendezvous with visitors by organizing a second event in Crete in April, featuring a tailored concept that will serve as a reference point for both the significant island market and all hotels in the Greek Hotel Market, at the threshold of the Season’s commencement.
Why Crete?
Recognizing the need for a second meeting point between the hotel market and its suppliers and partners, closer to hotel openings, organizing a targeted hotel exhibition in spring has become a tangible necessity. The 100% Hotel Show invests in organizing a second exhibition, selecting Crete and specifically Heraklion, which may be the most developed tourist market in Greece and a reference point for Hotel Entrepreneurship with significant investments in the sector.
Additionally, the event sends a key message about the philosophy of decentralizing exhibitions from traditional urban centers, organizing the first nationwide exhibition in Crete, providing a new pillar of development for the local economy and a significant contribution to the sustainability of the exhibition industry.
What sets apart the Main Event in Athens from the Seasonal Edition in Crete?
Both events will maintain the fundamental characteristics of the 100% Hotel Show exhibition concept, bringing a mix of exhibition structures with both impressive and more flexible booth formats, focusing on Design, Development, Sales, and Hotel Technology. The main difference between the two events lies in strengthening the more immediate solutions presented at the Heraklion Seasonal Edition, covering essential pre-opening needs of a hotel and promoting local suppliers. The Athens Main Event focuses on a more holistic dimension of hotel development, presenting solutions and new trends relevant to all stages of accommodation.
