A significant distinction for XpRience Thess has arrived to validate our efforts in promoting the cultural wealth of Thessaloniki. At the Tourism Awards 2026 ceremony, our project was honored with the Bronze Award in the highly competitive Culture category.

A Recognition for Cultural Tourism

Winning in the “Culture” category is a testament to the innovative way XpRience Thess approaches our city’s history and heritage. Our goal remains to create immersive experiences that connect visitors with the past, present, and future of Thessaloniki, utilising modern tools and a fresh perspective.

The Role of Mazi Travel

The nomination was spearheaded by Mazi Travel, which plays a central role in the implementation and success of the project. As the Lead Partner of the project and the entity responsible for the commercial management of the XpRience Thess tourism product, Mazi Travel ensures that the programme‘s cultural value is transformed into a comprehensive, high-quality tourism offering.
