ABOUT US

In recent years, filling job positions in Greek tourism and food service sector has become more and more difficult. As if it were not enough, investigations, analyses, controversies, symptomatic treatments, wish lists and promises, lukewarm campaigns and unplanned actions have significantly exacerbated the already grim situation and finalized the broken trust.

We know the problems in depth, and we all need a chance to break out of the vicious cycle and move forward. An open opportunity that can be exploited by those who are determined to see the future creatively and productively.

Skywalker.gr initiative “Greek Tourism - Heaven for All” is here to offer such an opportunity to anyone interested. An honest, forward-looking opportunity which will give space to anyone to move forward into the future we need. An opportunity to normalize working dissatisfaction and substantially rebuild a climate of trust and understanding in the Greek tourism working environment.

The idea was conceived by us (skywalker.gr team) while seeking for the best future for our market. Realizing that it is beyond us, we sought support from the Skywalker Think Tank, which consists of personalities from our socio-economic life, education, entrepreneurship, human resource management, volunteering, rural economy and social entrepreneurship. The following (listed in alphabetical order by last name) responded to the call:

Maria Georgala, MSc Communication & Information, Career Development Facilitator, Business Mentor, Content Creator

Giannis Kotis, Executive Master Coach, Member of Center of Volunteer Managers of Greece (ΚΕΜΕΛ)

Dimitrios Michailidis, Journalist @ «ΑγροΝέα», Writer
