“India Looks to Crete”: Successful Completion of the Greek–Indian FAM Trip Focusing on Experiential and Wedding Tourism
From 15 to 20 June 2026, the FAM Trip “India Looks to Crete” brought together ten leading Indian tour operators and tourism professionals to explore Crete’s tourism potential. Organised by the Region of Crete, the Hellenic–Indian Chamber of Commerce & Economy and the island’s four Hotel Associations, the initiative promoted Crete as a unified year-round destination, with particular emphasis on experiential, cultural and wedding tourism. The investment of Indian-backed GMR in the new Heraklion International Airport at Kasteli further strengthens prospects for direct air connectivity and increased high-value tourism from India.
