PROJECTS & FIELDWORKS
Yun Consultancy develops and tests new approaches to sustainability, implementation, education and governance through defined research and development partnerships.
Our pilots place emerging frameworks, methods and infrastructures into real-world environments so that they can be applied, observed and further developed before wider deployment.
We are currently developing four pilot partnerships across implementation practice, destination sustainability, education, and wellness and spiritual tourism governance.

From Sustainability Strategy to Destination Resilience: Diagnosing Implementation Conditions in Greek Tourism Destinations
A research presentation examining why growing sustainability and resilience strategies do not necessarily translate into implementation capacity at destination level.
Using Greece as the national context and Kefalonia as a destination-level case, the research examines governance fragmentation, policy-to-operator translation, seasonal workforce continuity, destination data and implementation continuity, and how existing tourism instruments address these conditions.
Research contribution: The paper proposes that implementation conditions should be assessed before sustainability strategies, funding programmes and resilience measures are deployed, making the implementation environment visible alongside existing destination planning instruments.
