The aim of the proposed research project is, first of all, to identify the factors that influence tourism demand for Greece and the Region of Western Macedonia, then to evaluate the temporal impact of each factor separately and finally to determine the effective temporal action of the media and tourism policy actions that private and government agencies can use when short-term factors that may affect tourist arrivals. The purpose of our research is to create a guide/model (blueprint) of the time effectiveness of each tourism action, energy and policy. The need for this guide/model arises from the fact that tourism policy actions must be formulated in the short term and above all that these actions should be checked for their time effectiveness or ineffectiveness.

Regarding the scope of this proposed project, our research blueprint will be a valuable tool for assessing the potential impact of changing international conditions affecting the Greek tourism industry as well as for evaluating tourism policies, actions and activities of Greek private and state agencies, small or large hotels and businesses participating in the tourism sector. The tourism businesses of the region directly benefit, while the population of the region indirectly benefits through the increase in the regional GDP.
