Specifically, the study examines all essential scopes for the successful implementation of this investment project in a highly competitive environment in the touristic region of Kassandra. The proposed business is assumed to utilize private capital and be managed by its own stakeholders. From interviews with owners of the hotel industry to sources available in published or electronic databases, the data collected in this dissertation originate from both primary and secondary research. Their evaluation follows the principle of comparative analysis, by utilizing them to develop a realistic scale for the estimation of the entire project. In the first part of the dissertation, the historical background and theoretical framework of business planning are described. The theoretical study is completed by collecting statistical information for the tourism sector at a global, national and regional scale in order to recognize the external environment of the project. The second and main part of the study consists of the presentation of the business plan. In particular, all key perspectives of the investment project are examined within this context, starting with determining the specific location of the complex and defining the architectural concept and facilities , continuing with the selection of effective marketing strategies and the analysis of the competitive environment in combination with a SWOT- Analysis, and ending with the financial performance evaluation of the proposed business. As there are no specified cost benchmarks for construction in hotel industry in Greece, the initial investment budget is based on the preliminary designs developed in this study. Finally, a general timeline for the implementation of this investment project is developed in order to present the milestones and critical stages of the project process. Keywords: Business Plan, Bungalow Complex, Chalkidiki, Greece Postgraduate Dissertation Stavroula Gatsou, Business Plan for a Bungalow Complex in Chalkidiki, Greece Περίληψη Στόχος της παρούσας διπλωματικής εργασίας είναι η παρουσίαση του επιχειρηματικού σχεδίου για την ίδρυση και λειτουργία ενός συγκροτήματος μπάνγκαλοου στη Χαλκιδική. Ειδικότερα η μελέτη εξετάζει όλους τους βασικούς τομείς για την επιτυχή υλοποίηση αυτού του επενδυτικού έργου σε ένα ιδιαίτερα ανταγωνιστικό περιβάλλον στην τουριστική περιοχή της Κασσάνδρας. Η προτεινόμενη επιχείρηση θεωρείται ότι θα χρηματοδοτηθεί από ιδιωτικό κεφάλαιο και η διαχείρισή της θα εκτελείται από τους ίδιους επενδυτές. Τα δεδομένα που συλλέγονται σε αυτή τη διατριβή προέρχονται από πρωτογενή και δευτερογενή έρευνα, χρησιμοποιώντας από συνεντεύξεις με ιδιοκτήτες ξενοδοχείων ως δημοσιευμένες ή ηλεκτρονικές βάσεις δεδομένων. Η αξιολόγησή τους ακολουθεί την αρχή της συγκριτικής ανάλυσης, καθώς με την αξιοποίησή τους αναπτύσσεται μια ρεαλιστική κλίμακα ή βάση για την εκτίμηση του συνόλου του έργου. Στο πρώτο μέρος της διατριβής περιγράφεται το ιστορικό υπόβαθρο και το θεωρητικό πλαίσιο των επιχειρηματικών σχεδίων. Η θεωρητική μελέτη ολοκληρώνεται με τη συλλογή στατιστικών στοιχείων για τον τουριστικό τομέα σε παγκόσμια, εθνική και περιφερειακή κλίμακα, προκειμένου να αναγνωριστεί το μακροπεριβάλλον του έργου. Το δεύτερο και κύριο μέρος της μελέτης αποτελείται από την παρουσίαση του επιχειρηματικού σχεδίου. Συγκεκριμένα εξετάζονται όλες οι βασικές παράμετροι του επενδυτικού σχεδίου, ξεκινώντας από τον προσδιορισμό της τοποθεσίας του συγκροτήματος και τον καθορισμό της αρχιτεκτονικής και των εγκαταστάσεων, συνεχίζοντας με την επιλογή αποτελεσματικών στρατηγικών μάρκετινγκ και την ανάλυση του ανταγωνιστικού περιβάλλοντος σε συνδυασμό με ανάλυση SWOT, και τελειώνει με την αξιολόγηση της οικονομικής απόδοσης της προτεινόμενης επιχείρησης. Δεδομένου ότι δεν υπάρχουν καθορισμένα κριτήρια αναφοράς για το κόστος κατασκευής ενός ξενοδοχείου στην Ελλάδα, ο προϋπολογισμός της αρχικής επένδυσης βασίζεται στα προκαταρκτικά σχέδια που αναπτύχθηκαν στη μελέτη αυτή. Postgraduate Dissertation Stavroula Gatsou, Business Plan for a Bungalow Complex in Chalkidiki, Greece Τέλος, αναπτύσσεται ένα γενικό χρονοδιάγραμμα για την υλοποίηση αυτού του επενδυτικού σχεδίου προκειμένου να παρουσιαστούν τυχόν ορόσημα και κρίσιμα στάδια.

  • GIS Applications As a Tool for Tourism Planning and Education: a Case Study of Chalkidiki
    CASE STUDY GIS applications as a tool for tourism planning and education: A case study of Chalkidiki Spyros Avdimiotis Thomas Mavrodontis Athanasios S. Dermetzopoulos Konstantinos Riavoglou SUMMARY Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are now recognized widely as a valuable tool for managing, decision making, analyzing, and displaying large volumes of diverse data pertinent to many local and regional planning activities. However, the number of GIS applications for regional tourism planning and education has not mushroomed as in other fields. This is also reflected in the field of sustainable tourism where the adoption of new technologies has been rather slow. Nonetheless, sustainable tourism decision-making and carrying capacity estimation has a lot to benefit from using such technologies. GIS can be used for managing various information needs, estimating indicators and, generally, assisting decision making in the planning phase, as well as in the monitoring and evaluation phases. In the field of tourism education GIS is just starting to become known as a valuable analytical tool by tourism/ hospitality firms and as a tourism economic development tool. However, college graduates with both tourism and GIS skills are virtually non-existent. The case of the Prefecture of Chalkidiki, Greece demonstrates the necessity and the value of such technologies. Key words: sustainable development; tourism education; decision making support; carrying capacity; Greece INTRODUCTION One of the most remarkable technological innovations al and non spatial data from the geographic world for in tourism planning and decision making is Geographic a particular set of purposes that varies for each disci- Information Systems (GIS).

  • Evaluation of Fusion Techniques on Quickbird-2 Imagery in the Region of Kassandra Peninsula, Chalkidiki, Greece
    Evaluation of Fusion Techniques on Quickbird-2 Imagery in the region of Kassandra Peninsula, Chalkidiki, Greece P. Stournara, P. Patias School of Rural and Surveying Engineering, Department of Cadastre, Photogrammetry and Cartography, Laboratory of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, AUTH Abstract: Fusion is utilized to produce images of enhanced spatial detail while preserving the spectral quality of the original MS image. This study compared 6 fusion techniques: Principal Components, Wavelet, Gram-Schmidt, modified Intensity-Hue-Saturation (IHS), High Pass Filter (HPF) and Hyperspherical Colour Space (HCS). They were applied to Quickbird-2 data, which was acquired over the area of Kassandra peninsula in Chalkidiki. The results were evaluated qualitatively with visual inspection and quantitatively with sta- tistical analysis. All techniques were effective; the HPF and the HCS gave the best results, following modified IHS, Gram-Schmidt and PCA, while the Wavelet technique created distortion in the fused image. 1. Introduction Fusion is a widely used procedure in remote sensing applications, because it facili- tates extracting more information from satellite imagery. This is largely due to the complementary nature of many image datasets (Chavez et al., 1991). Panchromatic images contain more spatial information, while multispectral ones contain more spectral information. Fusion combines spatial content from the for- mer and spectral content from the latter into one fused image, which is better inter- pretable than the original images and thus more useful to various applications. Therefore many scientists have been involved so far with the development and im- plementation of different fusion techniques (Chavez et al., 1991; King & Wang, 2001; Siddiqui, Y. 2003; Han et al., 2008; Padwick et al., 2010 etc).

We invite you to join us! more information: www.annahiking.nl (4-4-2020) MKAS210I: Active on Kassandra About AnnaHiking and the Kassandra Guide In 1991 we visited Greece for the first time. Our love for the country, the culture, the climate, the food, the language and the Greek has grown ever since. We feel at home here and want to communicate this feeling to others. Many people are familiar with the Greek “islands with beautiful beaches”. Many islands also boast a splendid inland with historical paths, ideal for hiking and biking. Kassandra on Halkidiki is such an island with much more on offer than beaches alone, and we’d love to introduce it to you. The local association published the website Kassandra Guide. The chairman called upon AnnaHiking to promote the island for its hiking and biking opportunities. As these are plentiful, we gladly obliged! In cooperation with the people from Kassandra Guide we explored several hiking and biking routes and described them in detail. We regularly revise the routes and the description where necessary. As an individual traveller we offer you these descriptions together with GPS-tracks and marked detailed maps, so you can find your way easily. We also offer you an information package with background information, tips for the best meals and several other useful trivia.

Based on deep oil borehole data, the Paleogene, Neogene and Quaternary sediments show significant thickness reaching 3600 m and cover the metamorphosed Mesozoic, mainly carbonate, basement. The detailed water temperature investigation proved the presence of sub-thermal waters (20- 28°C) at depths up to 300 m and the spatial distribution of the isothermal curves at depths of 150 and 200 m according to the main NW-SE and SE-NW tectonic structures of the area. Through the construction of geothermal exploration and production wells at depths of 422-583 m, thermal waters of 31.7-36°C were detected within the Upper Miocene sediments. The average value of the geothermal gradient was calculated to be 3-4°CI 100 m.
