Maritime Tourism is a key pillar of support for the local economy and enrichment of our provided tourism product, which is the main challenge in the new landscape that unfolds in front of us and in which we will be called to coexist, cooperate and co-operate. Maritime tourism in all its forms, attracts visitors of high social and economic level and contributes catalytically to the overall upgrading of the tourist product of the Aegean and each island separately. The development of maritime tourism, constitutes a necessary precondition for the support of the local economy and the enrichment of our provided tourism product, introducing new prospects. Maritime tourism, along with the parallel development of activities, can function either individually or in concert with other forms of tourism, creating a nexus of initiatives, thus providing high added value to our tourism product. The marinas of the Dodecanese islands, the tourist ports, the tourist sailboat shelters and the yachting moorings, constitute the basis for the strategic formulation of a new maritime policy and taking of measures to constitute Greek yachting competitive, able to constantly gain ground and establish itself within our visitors’ travel habits. Our 15 islands and rocky islets, with thousands of kilometers of coastline, uniquely alluring beauties, bright sun and crystal-clear waters, comprise the guarantees to enable the Dodecanese to become the number one yachting tourism destination. Als Industrie- und Handelskammer des Dodekanes haben wir uns verpflichtet, den gemeinsamen Anspruch von Anreizen für die Entwicklung des Meerestourismus zu fördern, um die griechische Yacht zu stärken und das touristische Produkt der Dodekanes - Inseln aufzuwerten.
