Vision & Mission
For the sustainable tourism development and international presence of Thassos
Our vision
Our vision is for tourism to strengthen the island's economy, with more opportunities for local businesses, longer periods of employment and stronger links with local production. We want more areas and communities to share in the tourism economy, with visitor flows balanced across the island and throughout the year.
Our mission
Our mission is to give Thassos a single strategic direction, a distinctive identity and a consistent presence in the Greek and international tourism markets. To this end, we bring the planning, management and promotion of the destination into one shared framework, with the participation of public bodies, the business community and local residents.
