The Pieria Regional Unit and the Pieria Tourism Development and Promotion Organization (P.O.T.A.P.) have initiated several strategies to modernize and expand the region's tourism sector.

In mid-August 2026, authorities completed information sessions regarding the creation of a Digital Hub for Sustainable Tourism. Developed in collaboration with the International Hellenic University, this hub is designed to collect and analyze data to support evidence-based policymaking. The tool aims to monitor visitor numbers and the carrying capacity of sensitive locations, including Mount Olympus.

Following these digital infrastructure developments, P.O.T.A.P. expanded its international marketing efforts by targeting Spanish-speaking markets. This includes featuring the ‘Olympus Riviera’ in the annual tourism guide ‘Atenas en el bolsillo’, which promotes the region's coastline, archaeological sites, and cultural heritage to audiences beyond traditional European markets.
