The Alimnia islet, located between Rhodes and Halki, was chosen by the Belgian travel agency “Beyond Borders” for the survival game ‘The Island’ which will begin in October 2016.
“Beyond Borders” is a new tourism agency that organises concept adventure trips, which do not exist anywhere else in Europe.
Joris Meermans, head of a four-member mission from Belgium, visited the island a few days ago and expressed his enthusiasm for Alimnia saying this was exactly what the agency “Beyond Borders” was looking for.
Beginning of cooperation
He also appeared confident, that this may be the beginning of a very good cooperation with the South Aegean Region and the municipality of Halki.
“Such original projects like ‘The Island’ highlight the potential of the islands, attract specific categories of tourists and can contribute to the lengthening of the tourist season,” Tourism Deputy Local Governor Marietta Papavasileiou underlined.
The mayor of Halki, Michalis Patros, stressed that this game is a pleasant alternative to highlight the beauty of Alimnia worldwide. “We welcome the organization of such an event that shows a different way of promoting Alimnia. I hope that this game is successful,” he commented.
