Abstract

The aim of this survey is to show the study of the compatible fullscope of Municipality Public Organizations in relation to the activity of tourism. Especially is being studied the perspective expansion of the Greek public Contract Software recording and conducting procurement procedures and registration of public contracts in the tourism sector.

Local government, as a direct agent in government policy, has been the scene of enormous structural changes over the last decade. Tough austerity measures have been put in place to ensure financial stability and fiscal adjustment, and the Covid 19 pandemic has affected and highlighted its management role. Previous scientific papers (Rospil, Kunz, Krocil, 2019) argued that legislative and managerial changes, although they improve the financial planning of public procurement, but the existence of government investment-procurement expenditures increases public debt. Mand, Koncul (2016)  observed that the functional characteristics of Local Government (L.G) (extent and intensity of services) are in order to the structural elements of the tourism product (spatial production framework, attractions, infrastructure) and provide a wide range research on the subject of the tourism production process.

The relevant findings of the empirical analyzes of this specific research effort provide us with very serious indications: I) The significant role of the geographical distribution of the population of the population density and the area of a municipality in the tourist activity and the distribution of its expenses II) The existence of a direct and symmetrical relationship between the variation of tourist expenditure and the volume of a conventional object III) The fact that municipal tourism development companies by making legal and institutional changes and adopting technological innovation policies lead to economic independence (reducing public debt) dictating the fullscope of tourism development policy IV) The need for a specialized operating system for the management of tourism expenditure-contracts under the institutional and operational supervision of publicly owned Destination Management Organizations.
