| Summary | The study focuses on the cultural and economic utilization of ancient Nicopolis and offers sustainable solutions at a local level through the organization of Nicopolis: Festival of Apollo and related sets of proposals for securing the future of the site and its hinterland. At the moment, the Preveza region under-uses its cultural monuments and is mostly known as a destination for sun and beach while Nicopolis is underutilized and neglected. Through qualitative analysis and examination of related and secondary sources, I evaluated the activities and cultural events taking place at the archaeological sites of Augusta Praetoria Salassorum and Augusta Emerita, in terms of their applicability, to restoring the fortunes of ancient Nicopolis. Additionally, the research included an examination of the necessary bureaucratic work to obtain a license for the realization of the festival and an identification of the objectives for a strategic plan for cultural tourism in the region of Preveza. The analysis established evidence that the selected cultural events are applicable for the site because of their relatively low cost. Moreover, the proposals for the collection of financial resources make the organization of the festival feasible. The successful organization of Nicopolis: Festival of Apollo in ancient Nicopolis will have a significant impact on the economic development and sustainability in the Preveza region. What this organization will entail and which stakeholders will be responsible for different parts of the work is outlined in the final chapters. |
