Alternative Tourism - Case Study of a kind of Alternative Tourism
Summary:
This diploma thesis will attempt to understand the concept of alternative tourism, the institutional framework and the theories related to it. The ultimate goal of the work is to investigate all the factors that constitute the creation of a successful alternative tourism project in a place. The biggest long-standing problem of Greek tourism is its intense seasonality in the summer months. It will initially record the standards in place and the standards that should be introduced to ensure that tourism development follows the principles of sustainable and inclusive growth. The main features of alternative tourism will be recorded through its forms as presented and developed in Greece and the patterns of development of tourist destinations and alternative forms of tourism development, through clusters, will be considered.
Afterwards, the study will explore the form of Alternative Tourism, Agro tourism as a form of tourism that will give life to the countryside, the possibility of tourism development at all times of the year, the economic development of local societies through the standards of sustainable development but also attracting customers who are interested in protecting the natural environment, respecting folk tradition and culture and seeking different forms of holiday, returning back to the nature . Study of rural tourism areas abroad (mode of operation etc.) and local agro tourism areas of our country, indicating all patterns of agro tourism development (model agro tourist farms, model villages, agro tourism ways, happenings-events, local gastronomic pudding patterns etc) and the agro tourist institutional framework and funding opportunities for agri-businesses round Greece. The study of two agrotouristic areas will be developed for demonstration through comparisons, of results.
Finally, through Alternative Tourism and especially Agro tourism as a case of sustainable tourism development that will help the local and global economy, the local communities, the natural environment, the proper management of the natural resources as well as our culture, will overcome the very flat crisis that Greece is experiencing in recent years.
