The project involves the development of a Tourism Carrying Capacity (TCC) Study for the destination of Athens. The study was conducted by the Municipality of Athens through the Development Agency of Athens SA (Develop Athens SA), in collaboration with the technical office “Gimisis+Associates” and the Department of Tourism Studies at the University of Piraeus. An innovative methodological approach was employed, applying Geospatial and Statistical Analysis at the neighborhood level. The study utilized indices (tourism & sustainability-related) based on Greek and international literature, with the primary goal of identifying neighborhoods with high, medium, low saturation, as well as those that remain unsaturated till now.
Seven (7) strategic pillars were formulated, focusing on a framework of sixty-three (63) actions with a defined timeline and recommended implementation stakeholders. The Municipality of Athens is a pioneer in adopting the applied methodology (neighborhood-level indices, big data analysis, field research).
