"As a proud graduate of the first master's degree in TOURISM in Greece (1998-2000) and also as a PhD in the same department (2006), I would like to thank from the bottom of my heart our highly qualified and now much-loved professors, the well-organized organized and helpful secretariat of the department, but also my fellow students with whom we shared, together, knowledge, anxieties, experiences and with some of them we reunited in the now professional arena". Good luck, with many travel and educational experiences!"

"Truly the Masters in Tourism Planning, Management and Policy of the University of the Aegean changed my life. Apart from the knowledge I gained and the skills I further developed, I believe it changed my attitude towards life."

I wish that the Tourism 300+ initiative launched by us, the first graduates of the Master's for the activation of the Tourism Scientific Association, will have worthy fellow travelers that will emerge through the reformed programme: "Strategic Management of Tourist Destinations and Hospitality Enterprises».

"Unique knowledge experience from experienced professors. Highly recommended."

''''I completed the master's degree in Strategic Management of Tourist Destinations and Hospitality Enterprises in 2010 and I chose it for its good reputation in the field, but mainly for the transport and tourism course. When I started, I never imagined that I would end up in academia at some point. Having been involved in various programmes, I can now say that this master's degree is the best master's degree in the field of Tourism in Greece."

"The Department of Tourism of the University of the Aegean was a particularly important educational experience for me, especially as it gave me the opportunity to return to the field of education while I was already working. The opportunity to update my knowledge and expand my field of knowledge provided me by this specific tourism study programme, with the academic prestige of the University of the Aegean in the field of Tourism, helped me to make use of my previous work experience in the field of self-government, to take steps of development in my workplace and to deal with the exciting subject of Tourism."

"The master's programme in "Strategic Management of Tourism Destinations and Hospitality Enterprises" was a turning point in my life. On a professional level, the knowledge and scientific guidance I received from the highly qualified academic staff marked the beginning of a successful career, during which I was given the opportunity to work at UNWTO, to participate in international conferences, to upgrade my know-how, to expand my circle of acquaintances through the development of European programmes and to find myself today teaching at a university in faraway Thailand. On a personal level, the Programme was the occasion for me to get to know the enchanting island of Chios with its hospitable inhabitants, to love the captivating beaches with the blue-green waters, to create lifelong friendships and finally to consider the place as my second home."
