Tourism is one of the largest industries worldwide, employing directly and indirectly millions of people, benefiting economically and socially all the hosting communities. In Greece, in particular, tourism is the backbone of the economy, thus one of the most important industries of our country. While tourism can largely benefit a large proportion of the population, it can also have widely negative effects both in the societies and the environment, if no measures are taken for responsible and sustainable tourism development. In Sail in Greece, responsible travel is central to our ethos and our mission is to work towards more sustainable forms of tourism in Greece. Through our operation, we aim at extending the tourism season, promoting less developed tourism destinations, thus distributing the social and economic benefits of tourism to other regions and communities too, besides the already well known tourism destinations, protecting the natural environment and supporting as much as possible the local hosting communities.<\/p>\n
