The sample of the study is coming from the area of Evritania, which is located in the heart of continental Greece
and has exhibited a remarkable tourism development during the last decade (Bobochiaris, 2013).
The population of entrepreneurs in the tourism sector and especially in the accommodation services are in total
115 according to the local chamber of commerce. In this research a sample of 75 companies is achieved to indentify
if they act in a sustainable manner, which means that they use sustainable resources to protect the environment and
that they have a positive impact to the three axes of sustainability.
The use of sustainable resources is measured with a number of ten questions such as the replacement of
inefficient lamps with new technology lamps, recycling, use of ecological detergent etc. A Likert scale from one to
five is used to identify the level of use of each resources and the same method is used to calculate the results of
entrepreneurial activity to the local employment, environmental protection, the preservation of local culture and
income creation.
