Τα …ρεκόρ αφίξεων βλάπτουν σοβαρά τη χώρα! Γιατί ο μαζικός τουρισμός εξελίσσεται σε μάστιγα;

Του ΓΙΩΡΓΟΥ ΧΑΡΒΑΛΙΑ* – Αθήνα

Mία κρίσιμη παράμετρος στην απόφαση του Βερολίνου να «κοντύνει» την Ελλάδα μέσω των μνημονίων που επέφεραν την οικονομική μας καταστροφή ήταν και η επιθυμία να καταστεί ελκυστικός τουριστικός προορισμός για τους χαμηλότερης εισοδηματικής στάθμης Βορειοευρωπαίους επισκέπτες και φυσικά για τους ίδιους τους Γερμανούς τουρίστες.

Να φτηνύνουν δηλαδή σε βαθμό εξευτελιστικό οι υπηρεσίες του κλάδου για να καταστεί η χώρα πιο…ανταγωνιστική, όπως θα έλεγε και ο μακαρίτης ο Σόιμπλε.

Τα αποτελέσματα αυτής της εγκληματικής πολιτικής τα βλέπουμε όλο και πιο δραματικά κάθε καλοκαίρι που περνάει. Τα…ρεκόρ αφίξεων καταρρίπτονται ένα μετά το άλλο και ορδές τουριστών κατακλύζουν τους δημοφιλείς παραθεριστικούς προορισμούς δημιουργώντας το αδιαχώρητο και επιβαρύνοντας κατά τραγικό τρόπο τις υποδομές με κορυφαία παραδείγματα την υδροδότηση, την αποχέτευση, την αποκομιδή απορριμμάτων και φυσικά το πολύπαθο ΕΣΥ....

Dear OTT Community,

All too often, we spend time theorising about how best to communicate evidence to inform policy. At OTT, we have been lucky to work with think tanks and funders who wish to inform policies. All too often, though, they rely on assumptions of policymakers' decision-making. In response, we have documented and shared research about the policymaking process over the years. Here is an article from 2014 that presents research from the United States, Britain and Australia: What do policymakers want?

More recently, we have been systematically interviewing users of evidence for a new series: Voices of Evidence Users. The series features interviews with:

• Jordanian parliamentarians
• Dr. Pamela Nakamba, economic advisor to the President of Zambia
• And many more policymakers from Latin America, Africa and Asia.

We hope to continue documenting the experiences and knowledge of the individuals that policy research funders, researchers, and think tanks try to inform and, with it, strengthen the assumptions on which they develop their strategies. Please contact us if you wish to support this effort.

Finally, don’t forget to register for the 2025 School for Thinktankers.

Until next month,
Enrique Mendizabal
OTT Founder & Director
