Cultural Heritage and Tourism

The objective of Program in Cultural Heritage and Tourism is to train human resources that play an active role in the preservation of Turkey's archaeological assets, cultural heritage and art repertoire, transformation of these assets into tourist attractions, and their use for the promotion of national and international tourism. The program aims to equip students with knowledge and skills required to create difference in the tourism sector and contribute to socially, culturally and financially sustainable development.

Tourism has become a popular field thanks to recent developments. However, a great number of people working in this field have not received any academic education. This program, through distance education, aims to address their need for specialized knowledge and to offer the opportunity for education to people who are interested in Cultural Heritage and Tourism.
