The tourism sector is a key pillar of economic growth in Greece. Land cultivation also contributes to country's economy. In the present thesis, these two factors are combined, collaborating and conversing at AGRIHoT (Agricultural Hotel of Thessaloniki).

AGRIHoT will be characterized as the first Agrotourism hotel in university facilities.It is located on the Farm Agriculture of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (airport area) and specifically next to thearea that has been landscaped into organic kitchen Gardens to be rented by citizens of Thessaloniki. This marks the immediate co-operation of the hotel unit with the Farm on both lucrative terms.

The coexistence of residential units, one-story buildings, and arable land, under the "shadow-cover" of large shelters, is considered the main design feature of the hotel. A keystone idea could be the phrase "consume what exists", meaning what is produced in the hotel area and therefore in the Farm Agriculture area.

This hotel is addressed to all tourists who are looking for a natural lifestyle in a pleasant environment. It also covers the needs of hosting both agricultural academics, as well as European Programs and Conferences. In addition, it provides the possibility of a short stay or a short stop for travellers to and from the airport. Finally, it offers accommodation to students of Agriculture practicing on the Farm Agriculture of the AUTH.

AGRIHoT is a fully equipped, both in terms of engineer and cognitive field, Αgrotourism hotel, where ordinary citizens, travellers, agriculturistsand students "coexist" and interact "naturally" under "a large cover".
