Why is Slow Tourism so beneficial to the destination's economy? 🤔

One of the aspects that characterises Slow Tourism is that it maintains tourism activity even in times of low demand.

To further discover the virtues of the Macedonian region, in Greece, as a tourist destination, the Med Pearls Steering Committee members visited the pilot sites of Imathia. 🔝

It was a unique experience that allowed us to learn about the history and culture of the city.✅

Today the Med Pearls members met in Thessaloniki, Greece, for the final Steering Committee meeting to mark the end of the project. 

During the day we visited the City Hall of Thessaloniki to discuss the project activities and events of the past months.💬

Time is a fundamental element for slow tourism. ⌛

In order to connect with tourist destinations, we must take the time to enjoy and understand them. 

👉At Med Pearls we work to implement tourism plans that ensure the connection between the environment and the traveller.

🔝To close the Final Conference, all attendees enjoyed some of the tourism activities they had implemented in Jordan. 

These included biscuit and aloe vera soap making, beekeeping or activities to experience what it is like to be a farmer in Jordan.
