Stakeholders can now find useful information on the site as well as provide their feedback via questionnaires.

Additional working meetings have been scheduled in the early fall in order to fine-tune the plans, produce a relevant destination plan guide; organize information events to disseminate the results across tourism stakeholders in efforts to encourage similar ventures at other destinations; and assist local implementation bodies to create structures for the effective management and monitoring of the plan.

The pilot project is funded by the EU and will be fully implemented by October 2019 with the collaboration of Greek (Toposophy) and UK (Team Tourism Consulting and Yellow Railroad consultants.
