Greek campaign nominated for World’s Best Tourism Film People’s Choice Awards

Greece’s new tourism campaign video has been nominated for the World’s Best Tourism Film 2022 in the 5th International Committee of Tourism Film Festivals (CIFFT) People’s Choice Awards competition.

The CIFFT category that Greece has been nominated in includes 49 videos from 22 different nations such as Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Fiji, Finland, France, Hungary, Iceland, Japan, Kazakhstan, Slovenia, Spain, Taiwan, and Uganda.

The online competition, which is run by CIFFT aims to engage audiences to watch new travel videos and vote for their favourites.

“The CIFFT ‘People’s Choice’ Award brings attention to the potential of this format to promote tourism experiences in an authentic and engaging way,” Greek National Tourism Organisation’s (GNTO) Secretary General Dimitris Fragakis said on social media.

“Our main goal is for Greece to be included among the winter destinations in Europe. Through the campaign we wanted to show that our Greece ALSO has a winter and that it is worth travelling here to live the experience,” he added.

Mr Fragagis shared his enthusiasm stressing that it is the first time that such a promotional effort focused on winter tourism has been made in Greece.

The campaign video has been released in both Greek and English.
