September 27th World Tourism Day Message from Rector Kutluhan
Pamukkale University Rector Prof. Dr. Ahmet Kutluhan published a message on the occasion of 27 September World Tourism Day. Rector Kutluhan underlined in his message that Pamukkale University is also trying to increase the international market share and digitization of our country and our city, and that it has always been one of the most important supporters of the tourism sector.
“The speed of integration of digitalization into human life has increased. The importance of environment-oriented activities has become evident and the demand for businesses with high sensitivity to social developments has increased. In the field of tourism, which is one of the sectors directly affected by the developments in the outside world, dynamism and flexibility have become extremely indispensable concepts. In this context, it is seen that the World Tourism Organization emphasizes the theme of "Rethinking Tourism" for the 2022 World Tourism Day. The theme of “Rethinking Tourism” draws attention to the importance of raising awareness about the changes in tourist expectations and being ready for all conditions. In line with the proposal of the World Tourism Organization, the United Nations recognized September 27 as World Tourism Day in 1979 in order to create and develop tourism awareness in the world and to emphasize the environmental, economic, political and socio-cultural importance of the sector."
Rector Kutluhan: "We are honored to host the 7th International 23rd National Tourism Congress, which was decided to be held in 2023 and which will be attended by many academics from national and international fields."At the end of his speech, Rector Prof. Dr. Kutluhan stated the following: “V. Tourist Guidance Congress, 7th International 23rd National Tourism Congress, 07 March 2023 7th Career Day will be held at PAU. We are honored to host the 7th International 23rd National Tourism Congress, which was decided to be held in 2023 and which will be attended by many national and international academicians. Our works with tourism stakeholders that will contribute to our province, our region and our country will continue to increase in the future as it is today. With all these feelings and thoughts, I would like to express my gratitude to the people, institutions and organizations who have made efforts to achieve the goals of our country in the field of tourism, and I congratulate all the stakeholders of our tourism sector on September 27, World Tourism Day.”
