On October 5th Athens welcomed one of its most inspiring gatherings — the TEDxAthens 2024 Conference, under the theme “X Machina”. This year, Marine Tours proudly joined the event as an official partner, supporting a platform that sparks curiosity, cultivates collaboration, and empowers bold ideas.
At Marine Tours, we firmly believe that innovation comes through partnerships that inspire forward-thinking ideas and enable impactful dialogue. This partnership allowed us to actively contribute to the event’s initiatives by participating in the panel discussions, sharing valuable insights on the evolving landscape of the travel industry, and encouraging our People — and future generations — to embrace challenges and explore new perspectives in every step of the travel experience.
Our CEO on Stage – “Beyond Mass Tourism”: Taking the floor at the “X Machina” Alternative Stage, our CEO, Mr. Konstantinos Oikonomou, had the honor of joining the distinguished panel “Beyond Mass Tourism,” supported by Marine Tours.
The discussion centered on a crucial question: as Greece reaches new records in tourist arrivals, is there an alternative to mass tourism? The panel explored practical solutions drawn from business tourism, conference tourism, and cultural tourism, while also addressing infrastructure challenges and strategic priorities. The debate emphasized that the future of Greek tourism must prioritize quality over quantity, proving that sometimes less can truly be more.
Empowering Ideas, Shaping Journeys: For our team, TEDxAthens was much more than an event. It was a transformative experience — an opportunity to immerse ourselves in new ideas, discover fresh perspectives, and be inspired to empower our own journeys.
As a company dedicated to delivering unique travel experiences, we are proud to support platforms like TEDx that align with our philosophy: to connect people, businesses, and travelers with meaningful experiences worldwide.
Together, we continue to empower unique people and deliver unique experiences.
