Can the entrance into the digital age to contribute to the development of the economy of Greece?
We went to the island Angistri to observe and record the engagement of tourism businesses with digital currencies and digital payments. Our aim was to find the momentum given to positive growth rates of the island's economy in the tourism sector, the use psiiakon currencies.
Mr. Lee Grant Gibson helped the local community to understand and develop the digital payments between companies and tourists. In September 2015 he has successfully established a fact that served as an intermediary link to the acceptance and use of a digital currency. The Nautilsscoin used for this demonstration, but similar effects could occur with any digital currency.

The President of the Professional Association Agistri Mr. Michael Panos welcomed us in business and said he was perfectly happy with the last collaboration was with Mr. Grant.
Indeed there was an increase in tourism but official figures, measurable, there is only an increase of the tickets of ferry lines.
Mr. Panos keeps tourist company -the Oasis Scala Beach - and can thus assure us that there was a 15% increase in bookings. Something that seemed from the website that displays the business.

The Dimitris Kouros entrepreneur in catering and entertainment space that keeps Club Kastro , maintains that the acceptance of digital payment methods, observed a 20% increase and believes that this will continue to give positive growth rates in the industry where it operates.
The Katerina Panou maintaining the hotel company Hotel Yianna which took place which involved the contest to find the model in September 2015, he told us that the fact intrigued the world, as observed increase of 17% on the reservations.
I believe that to accept an undertaking innovative new payment methods contribute to increased liquidity, either made through credit card or through prepaid. But to accept digital currencies requires education and information for entrepreneurs in our industry. Although we loved what did Mr. Grant can not say that I fully understand the new digital technology.
The Municipal Authority of the island asked about the idea of making the last year of this experiment carried out by the k.Grant.

Our Mayor Yiannis Athanasiou said that since digital payments contribute to the development of the local economy is in all our interests.
The Deputy Mayor Mr. Tasos Logothetis said they will wait to continue such actions for the development of the local economy.
Mr. Grant, told us that the new season will endeavor, with the cooperation of two clubs of the island, to make this year something similar as fact through Drachmae Travel Club .
We are confident that this year's events will take place in Agistri through k.Grant will surpass in success last year!
