Greece participates in the ITB Berlin 2013 -the leading international travel trade show that takes place in Berlin from March 6 to 10- launching its new tourism campaign under the slogan "Greece, All Time Classic". The exhibition was opened by the German Chancellor Ankela Merkel, who visited the Greek pavillion accompanied by the German Deputy Labour Minister and Special Envoy for Greek-German cooperation Hans-Joachim Fuchtel.
