Attica governor Nikos Hardalias visited Paris for the opening of the region's pavilion at the IFTM Top Resa 2026 international tourism fair, held at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. The region is participating as co-exhibitor in the national pavilion of the Greek National Tourism Organisation, aiming to promote Attica and attract tourism flows.

During his stay, Hardalias met with tour operators and industry professionals, discussing global tourism trends and Attica's presence in new markets. Discussions focused on Athens, the Athens Riviera, Piraeus, the Argosaronic islands, culture, gastronomy and conference tourism.

The governor said the goal is "to further strengthen tourism flows, extend the duration of the tourist season and create greater added value for local communities and our economy."

On the sidelines of the visit, Hardalias made a working visit to Paris-Saclay, a research and innovation ecosystem, as part of cooperation with the Île-de-France region. The visit is linked to Attica's plans to develop an Innovation Park at the site of the former Athens Pasteur Institute (Lyssiatreio), with both sides agreeing to continue exchanging expertise.
