The International Sea Tourism Festival (ISTF) 2024 was held with great success in Rhodes, welcoming over 8,000 visitors from more than 20 countries for a four-day celebration of knowledge, innovation, and extroversion. Under the theme “Go Blue – Go Green – Go Smart,” the festival redefined the Mediterranean’s role as a model region for sustainable sea tourism development.

 In 2025, the baton will pass to Ayia Napa Marina in Cyprus, where the festival will gain an even more international character. With the central theme “Seas of Innovation: Where Sustainability Meets Opportunity,” the event will become a meeting point for top professionals in the fields of cruising, yachting, diving, marine technology, and coastal development.

 The program will include:

● An international exhibition featuring companies and institutions from across the marine tourism industry.

● Thematic panels and conferences with experts from Europe and the Middle East.

● Workshops focusing on innovative practices, digital tools, and sustainable solutions.

● Gastronomic and cultural experiences that highlight Cyprus’ maritime identity.

● Interactive public events, new product launches, and evening events at the Marina Event Center. Participation in ISTF 2025 is a unique opportunity for networking, strengthening business collaborations, and enhancing international visibility.

This is a festival where innovation meets strategic thinking—and tourism becomes a driving force for sustainable economic growth.
