The report outlines the result of a preliminary field-study carried out over the month of May 2014. Based on the results of the study a number of general recommendations for how sustainable development in the areas of tourism and agriculture, as well as their potential synergic overlaps, can be ascertained, are given. In summary the report indicates that the bulk of the results point towards that Messinia is poised for a benign economic development albeit with a number of challenges. One of the key results is the finding that institutional representation of the region as a whole is lacking and that numerous venues to solve problems and leverage on potential in the region cannot be accessed due to problems stemming from a dearth of coordinated efforts among the various stakeholders in the region.
