Service Guide for Olympic Visitors to Greece Now Available

Visitors to Athens, Greece, may not always know which businesses are reputable. Around the Rings unveils new service to help them locate best businesses.

(PRWEB) May 26, 2002 -- Businesses in Athens, Greece -- and visitors to the Olympic City -- are the target of a new advertising service launched by
Around the Rings, the world's leading publication following the business of international sport.

"Athens Marketplace" is a directory of Greek businesses that aims to reach Around the Rings highly targeted readership in the lead-up to the 2004 Athens Olympics.

"Athens Marketplace" debuted May 17 at www.aroundtherings.com with Old Orient, a shop in the Plaka specializing in fine gold jewelry. Other businesses scheduled to appear soon include one of Europes premier sports marketing companies, as well as hotel and transportation services. Other business and retail categories will be added over the coming months.

From our own experiences in Olympic cities around the world, we realized that an advertising guide such as "Athens Marketplace" can be a valuable service to both businesses and consumers. We want our readers to have one place they can turn to for reliable, reputable business services," says Publisher Sheila S. Hula.

"For businesses, we are able to cut through clutter and geographic distance to present their firms and stores to the readers of
Around the Rings, many of whom will be travelling to Athens in the next two years."

"Quality control will be paramount -- only those advertisers known personally to the staff of ATR will be accepted," says Hula.

Around the Rings is the worlds leading publication focusing on the business of the Olympic Movement. Published every Friday and distributed by email, readers include bid and organizing committees, media, sports marketing companies and many sport federations.
