2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣4️⃣: This year we proved that tourism isn't just about destinations – it's about connection, transformation, and empowering communities to write their own stories! 🌍✨ Also I discovered something profound: true tourism development happens when we bring people together, listen deeply, and create spaces for genuine dialogue. Considering my focus, “Highlights” that redefined my understanding of sustainable tourism: 🌀 Leading the Gemlik Tourism Vision Workshop was more than an academic exercise. With over 50 industry representatives and local stakeholders, we reimagined the town's tourism potential. The energy in the room was electric – this wasn't just planning, this was community dreaming out loud! 🌀As Administrative Coordinator for MTCON24, we brought together tourism experts from 50+ countries. My favorite moment? Realizing that our differences are our greatest strength. As I shared in our closing remarks: "Together, we have not only managed tourism across continents but have also forged lasting connections that will continue to inspire us." https://lnkd.in/d6yTWKr9 🌀Presenting at the International Education for Sustainable Development Conference in London became a powerful reminder that academic research isn't about papers – it's about creating real-world impact. https://lnkd.in/dDTyGbxk 🌀My keynote at the International Conference on Occupational Health & Safety wasn't just a speech – it was a call to action for integrating sustainability into every aspect of our work. https://lnkd.in/dUGz2pss Looking ahead to 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣5️⃣, I'm more convinced than ever: sustainable tourism is about human connection. It's about seeing each destination not as a place to visit, but as a living, breathing community with stories waiting to be heard. 🇹🇷🌎 To my incredible network – thank you for being part of this extraordinary journey of discovery, collaboration, and hope🪩🎄 #LinkedInRewind #wrapped
