Within the framework of the program for the paths, an experiential workshop was carried out – action with the volunteers but also members of organizations from abroad – Alsace, France with the object of collecting grapes – vintage and the preparation of local wine with the Serfiotiko variety available by Social Cooperative of Cyclades .
Tourism is a massive social phenomenon with great demand that is constantly growing. In recent years, however, interest in alternative tourism has increased, as it is diametrically opposed to mass tourism, which has several negative consequences. Alternative forms of tourism place great emphasis on the wishes of the most “specialized tourists”, are more friendly with the natural and cultural environment and require greater participation and support of the local community. In a country like Greece where tourism is a key sector of the economy and there are many remarkable naturalists and cultural resources, the development of alternative tourism is essential.
However, a precondition for the proper development of tourism is the correct methodology in planning taking into account all the design steps, selecting the appropriate strategies based on existing theories and successful examples of tourism development, always following the above design frameworks.
