Travel Bloggers Greece recently spread the word about “Blogging and the Foodie Generation” at the 4th Annual Xinis Education Festival of Gastronomy which took place on 18 March 2015 at the Municipality of Glyfada.
Co-Founders of TBG, Elena Sergeeva and Marissa Tejada, took the stage at the Glyfada Town Hall to talk about why food and travel blogging has taken off and how blogging and social media can make an impact on a food brand/blog/business.
One particular slide in Elena and Marissa’s presentation that got a few laughs was a cartoon Simpson’s character. No longer can we say “Food is to eat, not to Tweet!”
The Mayor of Glyfada, Mr. George Papnikolou, and the President of of Xini, Sofoklis Ksinis, opened the event with welcoming speeches to a crowd that included students from the institution, teachers as well as tourism and food industry professionals.
Other presenters included:
Anastasios Tolis, Executive Chef of Palmie Bistro
Anthia Blassopoulou, CEO of Insiders Travel Experiences
Konstantinos Matsourdelis, Founder of the Museum of Greek Gastronomy
Vasileos Polizos, Head of Digital Marketing at Nelios
Sofia Sideridou, Marketing Executive of Porto Carras Hotel and Winery
The talk went well and audience members were offered the opportunity to ask questions about each presentation. There were lots of interesting insights about tourism in Greece and the food and gastronomy experience that visitor seek.
