Up Greek Tourism campaign, to Promote Greek Islands

Posted on 21 March 2012 by Basil Boziotis

Greek Tourism has significant potential in supporting and restarting the Greek economy, and Up Greek Tourism is a grassroots campaign for the Greek people, by the Greek people.   They have taken matters into their own hands to jump start the Greek tourism Industry.  The main objective of the ‘UP Greek Tourism’ campaign is to promote Greek tourism abroad in two ways: directly, through the outdoor advertising campaign, and indirectly through the word of mouth created through traditional and social media who will re-produce the campaign.

The Organization has managed to negotiate an electronic billboard in the heart of Times Square worth of US $45,000. This means that for every $1 contributed, Up Greek Tourism will buy 3x the value in media exposure.  The organization is Led by a great team of individuals who donate their time to Up Greek Tourism, and their goal is to mushroom this grass foots campaign funded by Greek Diaspora to get the Greek Islands and Greece back on its road to its historical greatness.

    Hello,

    I am willing to help this cause at just about any price, but in order for me to do that, I need help from others. The following is my post in the travel section from last night:

    I am looking to travel to Greece this summer and would like your help on any tour groups that go to the desired places I have listed below. Ideally, this is what I would like to do this summer and I’m thinking late July/early August to come:

    Fly into Rhodes
    Mykonos
    Santorini
    Tinos
    Paros
    Ios
    Naxos
    Milos (if I have time)
    Samos (if I have time)
    Volos/Platanias (to see my cousins)
    Fly out from Athens

    I know my plans are a bit complicated, but I really want to see these islands.
    Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated!!!

    Thank you,
    Nicole
