Abstract: This article examines the shifts in spatial planning within Greece’s tourism sector since the 2010s, aimed at addressing the structural problems and challenges of Greek tourism. By exploring the characteristics of urban planning and tourism development in Greece, it investigates the changes in spatial planning in the field of tourism and the emergence of new urban planning mechanisms designed to facilitate and enable integrated tourism development projects. It highlights the interconnections between tourism planning and urban planning, demonstrating how these new urban planning instruments have incorporated tourism planning approaches based on integration and adaptability, with a focus on environmental sustainability.
