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.
