PROMOTION AND ATTRACTION of CULTURAL TOURISM
• Through a package of diverse cultural activities that attract publicity we achieve a wide spread promotion and highlighting of the rare “ scenery” ( castles, monasteries, churches e. t. c) not only of the Hellenic territory but also of those existing in the countries linked in a common past of a valuable – tangible and intangible – Cultural Heritage as well, since they are the essential source and tool for the development through National and International Tourism addressed at groups of visitors of high quality and distinguished , elegant and sophisticated preferences thus enhancing intercultural dialogue and cross cultural exchange
FIGHTING UNEMPLOYMENT • These days that the indicators of unemployment rise higher and higher ,
the use of human power becomes the only weapon for counter attack . • The activation of the local, the National and International Touristic bodies
and Institutions, of the Regional Governments , of the Organizations , of all Local town authorities, of all Chambers , of the artists, the craftsmen , the traders, the technicians, the producers of local products , the organizers of Cultural activities e. t. c .
• With the collaboration and guidance of the Center’s experts on Byzantine history, Archeological Societies , the Byzantine Ephorates, Research Centers and Institutes specializing in Byzanthology , aiming to create the conditions so the activities of the Festival may become a pole of attraction of famous personalities from everywhere and will eventually become centers of meeting places by all experts ,while the collaboration and common projects of the other countries will strengthen cross cultural relations aiming also at the active participation of the younger generation in collaboration with international Youth bodies (Unesco Youth ,Erasmus e.t.c. )

historical cultural project, a channel of communication and creative collaboration of the European , the
Mediterranean , the Black Sea , the Red Sea and Arab countries , developing the core of Intercultural
dialogue where the « INTERCULTURAL EURO MEDITERRANEAN CENTER
