  • Covid19 and a New Quality-Of-Life Tourism Model for the Greek Islands
    International Journal of Cultural and Digital Tourism Volume 6, Spring 2020 (Special Issue) Copyright © IACUDIT ISSN (Online): 2241-9705 ISSN (Print): 2241-973X Accessibility, Tourism and Social Welfare: Covid19 and a new Quality-of-Life Tourism Model for the Greek islands Elen-Paraskevi Paraschi1* 1Dept. of Tourism Management,University of Patras, Greece Tel. 6973460338, email: [email protected] Abstract This paper aims to draw attention on the insularity issue faced by many Greek islands and to discuss how the challenges connected with insularity are affected by the Covid19 pandemic and the mobility restrictions measures imposed by the central government. Given that the current tourism pattern of Europe and Greece in particular is going to alter, this paper proposes a new tourism model that could improve the competitive position of the remote Greek islands, while enhancing the total social welfare. This Quality-of-Life Tourism Model (QoLTM) exploits the unique features of the small islands, transforming insularity into a tourist competitive advantage. The proposed QoL tourism model is consistent with the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations and aims to improve the well-being of both visitors and island residents. Keywords: Insularity, Accessibility, Sustainable Development, Quality of Life Tourism, Covid19. JEL Classification: Z32, Tourism and Development 1. Introduction Greek tourism industry has experienced a continuous growth in the last decade, with tourist arrivals crossing the of 30 million border line in 2018 and following the same rising trend in 2019, too. However, the situation in 2020 will be dramatically different. Tourism industry is facing an unprecedented challenge from Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid19) which has grounded airplanes, shut down hotels, and cancelled the vacation plans of millions of people.

Triantis2 and Panayiotis Trigas1 1Laboratory of Systematic Botany, Faculty of ABSTRACT Crop Science, Agricultural University of Aim The Aegean Archipelago has been the focal research area for identifying Athens, GR-118 55 Athens, Greece, 2 and testing several ecological and evolutionary patterns, yet its biogeographical Department of Ecology & Systematics, Faculty of Biology, National & Kapodistrian subdivision has been somewhat overlooked, with the processes driving the University of Athens, GR-157 03 Athens, assembly of the Aegean island plant communities still remaining largely Greece, 3Geological-Paleontological unclear. To bridge this gap, we identify the biogeographical modules (highly Department, Natural History Museum, 1010 linked subgroups of islands and plant taxa) within the Aegean Archipelago. 4 Vienna, Austria, Natural History Museum of Location The Aegean Archipelago, Greece. Crete, University of Crete, Heraklion GR- 71409 Crete, Greece Methods We used a network approach to detect island biogeographical roles and modules, based on a large and detailed database including 1498 Aegean endemic and subendemic plant taxa distributed on 59 Aegean Islands and five adjacent mainland areas. Results The Aegean was divided into six biogeographical modules; the net- work was significantly modular. None of the modules displayed all four possi- ble biogeographical roles (connectors, module hubs, network hubs, peripherals). Six new biogeographical regions in the Aegean were identified. Main conclusions The borders of the six biogeographical regions in the Aegean correspond well to the region’s palaeogeographical evolution from the middle Miocene to the end of the Pleistocene.

  • Expedition Shark #4: Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park - LAMAVE
    Expedition Shark #4 Expedition Shark #4: Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park - LAMAVE Introduction Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park is one of the last refuges for sharks remaining on the planet. It provides protection to critically endangered species, serves as a sanctuary where a variety of species thrives, and redistributes life into the surrounding waters. This rare beacon of hope in Southeast Asia represents an oceanic oasis at the heart of an overexploited, overfished desert. It is a vestige of what the oceans once were, and a brilliant model for what they should be again. Despite all of this, we know very little about the sharks that call this unique UNESCO World Heritage Site home, and a research expedition is desperately needed to unlock its potential. Our team, which includes an intrepid researcher spending four months at the ranger station on this remote atoll, will conduct the first comprehensive shark survey within Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park. Our expedition will explore the secrets behind the stunning biodiversity of this reef, revealing the key to repopulating the sharks of the Coral Triangle and uncovering information that can help keep our oceans alive. Is Tubbataha home to Asia's most productive tiger shark nurseries? Where do the whale sharks that frequent this reef travel, and are they venturing into the dangerous waters of the South China Sea to reproduce? This expedition represents an unprecedented effort to understand these animals so we can work for their protection. Join us now and be a part of the solution. Photo ©Simon Pierce | MMF 1 Expedition Shark #4: Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park - LAMAVE What is Expedition Shark #4? On May 22nd 2018, a team of the world's top shark scientists will travel to Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park to conduct a groundbreaking assessment of sharks and rays within the park during a 12-day expedition.

    Munich Personal RePEc Archive Tourists’ Preferences for Quality of Services: Empirical Investigation of Lesvos, Samos and Chios Islands Papanastasiou, John A. and Lazaridis, Ioannis T. and Noulas, Athanasios University of Macedonia, University of Macedonia, University of Macedonia 10 October 2005 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/25399/ MPRA Paper No. 25399, posted 24 Sep 2010 15:03 UTC TOURISMOS: AN INTERNATIONAL MULTIDISCIPLINARY JOURNAL OF TOURISM Volume 1, Number 2, 2006, pp. 95-101 TOURISTS’ PREFERENCES FOR QUALITY OF SERVICES: EMPIRICAL INVESTIGATION OF LESVOS, SAMOS AND CHIOS ISLANDS John A. Papanastasiou1 University of Macedonia Ioannis T. Lazaridis University of Macedonia Athanasios Noulas University of Macedonia Since tourism is an important source of economic prosperity for Aegean islands, it is interesting to discover the factors affecting the preferences of Greek and foreign tourists to visit and stay on these islands. Using annual data from 1985 to 1996 for the islands of Lesvos, Samos and Chios, the present paper investigates empirically whether quality of services is one of these factors. Specifically, we consider an econometric model drawing from the switching regime literature, to examine causality effects between visitor’s preferences for services’ quality, the number of Greek and foreign tourists arriving at the islands and the duration of their residence. Keywords: switching regime model, quality of services, North Aegean islands INTRODUCTION Indisputably, tourism is considered to be an important factor of economic development for almost all Aegean islands. Generally, the Aegean islands are classified into three categories according to their tourist development stage. In the first category belong Rhodos, Kos, Santorini and Mykonos where tourism plays a dominant role in the economic base of these islands.
