Fotis Kilipiris & Athanasios Dermetzopoulos Department of Tourism & Hospitality Management, Alexander TEI of Thessaloniki [email protected], [email protected] Religion and faith have always been strong motivations affecting society's evolution and people's actions. Additionally, religion and pilgrimage in contemporary societies have, among others, considerable economic implications. Religious tourism, an emerging form of tourism activity for many destinations, plays an important role for local economies. Rural economies can rely upon religious tourism as a supplementary source of income in many environments, to supplement agricultural income.

A study carried out in the region of Central Macedonia, Northern Greece Clara Esparza Mengual, Project Manager and Researcher at Open Cultural Center Presented within the European Joint Master’s Degree Program Migration and Intercultural Mediation (Master MIM Crossing the Mediterranean) May 2018 The process of schooling of the refugee children in the Greek schools Case study: Open Cultural Center as a mediator and supporter. A study carried out in the region of Central Macedonia, Northern Greece Clara Esparza Mengual. Master MIM Crossing the Mediterranean and Open Cultural Center Introduction The current situation regarding forced migration has had an impact on European society by calling into question the preparation and capacities of governments to face the arrival of thousands of people who should have the same rights as European citizens: Basic rights such as the right to a decent housing, to receive a medical care or to access to education. This has been especially the case of countries such as Italy and Greece, who have received the main number of people running away from the war in Syria. This phenomenon has revealed the strengths and weaknesses of each country, as well as its capacity of mobilising its citizens, thereby forcing the different governments to rethink their policies and resources. In this context, new tools appear necessary in order to face the necessities of treating forced migrants as equals, providing to them the same access to basic rights as to the regular citizens.

  • Greek Tourism Posters “A Journey in Time Through Art”
    Greek Tourism Posters “A journey in Time through Art” An exhibition of G.N.T.O. presented by the Embassy of Greece in Australia on the occasion of the visit of H.E. the Minister of Tourism Mrs. Olga Kefalogianni Catalogue Wednesday 14th of May 2014 Canberra Greece... ... "A sky exceptionally blue and clear, a sea from which one after the other rose the islands of the Archipelago. Your glance can never be lost in infinity. There is always a point where it can rest: a mountain, an island, a line, here clear-cut, there more remote, drowned out by a lambent haze. The sun rises triumphal over this magical landscape and then sets in a glory of colour and light. A sunset in the Greek Archipelago, a time when volumes are drawn one behind the other, diaphanous and crisp, is one of the rare gifts of the Gods... This is the land blessed by the Gods, where they were born at the dawn of civilization, where they still live. Luminous and dazzling, these deities of sea, sun and hills, lived on a human scale, on mythical Mount Olympus. And when the twilight hour arrived for them, they gained a second immortality through Homer's epic poetry... There are also beautiful mountains. Starting from Pindos, the spine that runs through Continental Greece, many mountain ranges branch off, shaped of rock, small fists that cover almost the entire country, until they either fall suddenly into the Aegean Sea or elsewhere roll gently into the sea tumbling down into sand dunes. The Muses lived on Mount Parnassus.
