IMTa™ has conceptualized a model program for the development of sustainable, economically viable, integrated housing projects on Tinos. Projects can be classified into four different categories:

The objective of the overall project concept is to commercially develop and promote abandoned and ruinous settlements by establishing unique, restored, traditional housing areas and/or by creating new modern holiday complexes on unexploited land. All developments are marked by characteristic elements of art, tradition and history. Projects are intended for an exclusive international market in the high-income range. In addition, the planning incorporates the remodelling of small tourist facilities (hotels and apartments) into boutique hotels, with high standards of service operating on a permanent rather than seasonal basis, hence aiming at extending the tourist season on Tinos to the whole year.

Based on meticulous fieldwork as well as research and analysis, only a specific number of settlements that fulfilled the basic selection requirements were initially chosen. A re-assessment of these preselected areas/settlements followed, with stricter selection criteria: such as topology, geography, climate, history, tradition, folklore, art, accessibility, construction parameters, marketability, view, distance from the beach and other points of interest. The outcome of that second analysis stage, in combination with further field visits and follow-up analyses, resulted in a shortlist of sites that formed the core for a detailed business concept presenting a new land and tourism development plan for Greece. This concept can be applied as a prototype for the tourist development of the wider Aegean region and specifically, small and medium-sized islands with a rich historical and cultural background. It is also applicable to other regions of Greece that combine natural beauty with history, culture and tradition.
