Abstract: Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are now recognised widely as a valuable tool for managing, decision-making, analysing, and displaying large volumes of diverse data pertinent to many local and regional planning activities. However, the number of GIS applications for regional tourism planning has not mushroomed as in other fields. This is also reflected in the field of sustainable tourism, where the adoption of new technologies has been rather slow. Nonetheless, sustainable tourism decision- making and carrying capacity estimation has a lot to benefit from using such technologies. GIS can be used for managing the various information needs, estimating indicators, and generally assisting decision-making in the planning phase, as well as in the monitoring and evaluation phases. The paradigm of Municipality of Chalkidki - Greece proves the necessity and the value of such technologies.
