Greece is one of Europe’s most in-demand destinations, combining ancient history, island experiences, scenic coastlines, and strong cultural appeal. As a Greece Destination Management Company (DMC), Holidays Carnival Group supports B2B travel agents and tour operators with reliable ground handling and well-structured travel programs for FITs, groups, incentives, and MICE travel.
From Athens’ classical landmarks and mainland heritage routes to the Greek islands and coastal regions, Greece offers flexible itinerary options that work across different travel styles and budgets when planned with the right destination partner.
Why Greece Works Well for B2B Travel Programs
Greece attracts consistent demand across leisure, group, and incentive segments. Its popularity is driven by recognisable landmarks, strong international connectivity, and the ability to combine cultural touring with relaxed island stays.
Key reasons Greece is preferred by B2B travel planners:
- Globally recognised cultural and historical appeal
- Strong air connectivity from Europe, UK, Middle East, and Asia
- Wide hotel inventory across mainland and islands
- Suitable for FITs, groups, incentives, and MICE
- High demand for island and coastal experiences
- Works well for short stays or extended Europe itineraries
Greece performs best when itineraries are paced correctly and seasonal demand is managed carefully.
Core Destinations & Travel Highlights in Greece
Athens
Athens is the cultural and operational hub for Greece travel programs. The Acropolis, museums, and historic districts make it ideal for cultural groups, FITs, and educational travel.
Mainland Greece
Regions such as Delphi, Meteora, and the Peloponnese add depth to Greece itineraries through heritage sites, landscapes, and traditional towns.
Greek Islands
Islands like Santorini, Mykonos, Crete, and Rhodes are popular for leisure FITs, incentives, and premium group programs. Island selection depends on travel style, season, and operational flow.
Coastal & Resort Areas
Mainland coastal regions work well for incentive groups and relaxed leisure programs without the complexity of inter-island travel.
Best Time to Visit Greece
Greece operates as a season-driven destination, and travel experiences vary significantly by time of year. Choosing the right season helps agents manage crowd flow, pricing, and itinerary comfort.

FIT, Group & Incentive Travel in Greece
Greece works across multiple travel segments, but each requires a different planning approach.
For FIT travelers, flexibility, location, and experience flow are key.
For groups, success depends on hotel availability, transport coordination, and crowd management.
For incentives and MICE, Greece offers strong venues, dining options, and event infrastructure, particularly in Athens and resort regions.
Our role as a Greece DMC is to align expectations with realistic routing and seasonal conditions.
