28 Feb Press Release – ITB 2020
28-February-2020
Lefkada, Greece
Dear Friends, Colleagues, Partners,
In aftermath of the sudden ongoing outbreak of COVID 19 in Europe, we regret having to cancel all meetings having been confirmed to take place at the ITB Berlin 2020 next week.
As
our industry constantly seeks
quality certifications, green keys, sustainable and responsible
tourism methodology,
we find no logic in participating in
decisions that put thousands of colleagues and
worldwide citizens in even the slightest
percentage of any health risk.
We conclude, that
the only responsible decision to safeguard not only our management
team and employees and affiliated partners,
but also the destination and resorts we operate in whole.
At
the time, the only way to responsibly
achieve safeguarding our local community
seems to be the cancellation of our participation of the ITB 2020 in
Berlin Germany.
We are sorry for the short time notice of
this decision, as the past few days,
the facts upon this decision is based, was
in dramatic constant
change while
the majority of partners and other
organizations have already shared these concerns, or have also
proceeded in announcing cancellation of their participation.
Esiness Travel LTD will be reaching out to all scheduled meeting partners, within the next few days in order to make alternative conference meeting arrangements with each and every one of you, within the soonest possible timeframes.
Sincerely,
Spiros
Mikronis
director
