Χρησιμοποιώντας στοιχεία από εθνικούς φορείς, στο άρθρο θα επιχειρ...

Η τουριστική δραστηριότητα, παρά την έντονη συρρίκνωση που υπέστη κατά τα έτη 2020 και 2021 λόγω τηςπανδημίας του κορονοϊού (Covid-19) σε παγκόσμιο επίπεδο, αναμένεται να αυξηθεί σημαντικά κατά τα επόμεναχρόνια. Για την Ελλάδα οι εκτιμήσεις δείχνουν ότι η συνολική συμβολή του τουριστικού κλάδου στην οικονομίαδιαχρονικά θα αυξάνεται. Ωστόσο, υπάρχου...

Ο Foucault (1926 - 1984) στα κείμενά του παρομοιάζει τη φυλακ...
