In the first days of September 2015, we represented Sifnos island on one of the most famous hiking exhibitions worldwide, the Tour Natur Expo, in Dusseldorf, Germany. After the way-marking of 104 km of hiking trails on this beautiful island, the participation to the Exposition is part of the attempt of the Municipality of Sifnos to open up to new markets of hikers. Considering the 40,000 visitors of the Tour Natur, this was quite a move! During the three days of the exhibition, we presented the new website (www.sifnostrails.com), distributed the new leaflet about the trails, and the visitors of our stand had also the opportunity of tasting local specialties! Greece had the largest stand of all the countries out of Germany. The participation of Greece was rather impressive, not only in quantity but especially in quality. Many places from all over the country came to present their trails (smaller or larger islands, mountainous areas of northern and central Greece, Peloponissos etc.). As a result, we realised the need for all of us in Greece who work on the trails to organise and strengthen our communication, in order to make Greece a Worldwide famous hiking destination!
