'Sustainability' in a business context encompasses a company's social, environmental and financial sustainability.
The open advisory session for Parian tourism businesses will touch upon all three aspects of sustainability and will include a discussion with the business owner of his/her plans for rendering the business model more sustainable both in the immediate and in the long term, taking into account the funds that are available for this purpose. A visit of the hotel's main areas will help us get a feel of the business' needs and will provide us with a better idea of what can be done both now and in the future to give the business a more sustainable direction. After this introductory session we will go on to discuss long-term plans & investments that can help realise a sustainable transformation of the business, also through the use of maketing and promotional tools.
