The third EXTOR International Meeting is over. It has been two very intense days, but we leave Greece with joy to continue working! ![]()
We would like to thank Teresa and Despoina from OTC for welcoming us to a fantastic location: the Mercouri Estate - Κτήμα Μερκούρη farm, which has been producing excellent wine and oil for 140 years. ![]()
In this unique setting, we had the opportunity to meet the owners, who guided us on a journey of discovery through rural and wine tourism in this area of the Peloponnese, a type of tourism that has built bridges in the Mediterranean and set the guidelines for this sector in Greece.![]()
We learned a lot and discussed the next stages of the project, which will open up to new developments and opportunities for entrepreneurs in the rural tourism sector, students and teachers in vocational schools, and policymakers in rural communities. ![]()
