It is well known that tourism is one of the most lucrative sectors of Greek economy, especially for the Greek islands and, in our case, Paros. It is also widely accepted that tourism, in its current globalized manifestation, does not always pay heed to the unique features or local customs and distinct ways of life that have taken root on our islands.
Perantinos Travel and Tourism together with the Municipality of Paros and Innovaros are organizing the 2nd Sustainable Paros Forum that will focus on “Innovation, Sustainable Development and Tourism”. The second edition of the Forum will take place in Archilochos Hall in Parikia, Paros, on Saturday 14th May 2016.
The event will be open to the public and will be primarily addressed to tourism professionals, young entrepreneurs, local associations and all those who would like to find out more about the topic of sustainable development and tourism.
The main aims of the second forum are to:
(i) Inform and sensitize people about the environmental problems that are affecting Paros today and to suggest ways we can protect and promote the natural environment as well as our cultural heritage.
(ii) Foster dialogue between all relevant bodies, aiming to arrive at concrete proposals and promote initiatives that can pave the way to a more sustainable future; at the same time, seeking to forge alliances and identify possible sources of funding for new initiatives of a sustainable character.
The speakers, who have a wealth of experience in their respective domains, will be looking into the measures that can be taken to meet the above objectives and will be coming up with concrete proposals with regards to the protection and promotion of our natural environment.
The 2nd edition of the Forum will cover the following topics:
1. Innovation in tourism
2. Accreditation, qualitative transformation and sustainability
3. Innovation in youth entrepreneurship and the local community
