About
Overview:The Provinces of Eastern Anatolia are the poorest in Turkey with the lowest human development index (HDI). Eastern Anatolia and the province of Kars have been the target areas for the Joint Programme. Tourism is a major economic force, and it is estimated that cultural tourism will expand its market share to 20% or more, while today representing 8-12%. In order to preserve the cultural heritage, collaborative efforts between the national and local authorities, the civil society and the private sector are helpful for fostering this type of appreciation and will contribute to social cohesion, especially among young women and men, with regards to matters of culture. The purpose is to contribute to linking the cultural and tourism potential for local economic growth. The cultural heritage has a triple role as a foundation of identity, as a vector for development, and as a tool for reconciliation. The JP is implemented on the basis of existent national strategies, including the Ninth Development Plan (2007-2013), the Government’s Tourism and Strategy Action Plan of 2007 – 2013 and the 2023 Tourism strategy. The intervention seeks to support pro-poor tourism development policies implemented with framework of social cohesion integration policies by fostering pluralism, dialogue of cultures and the establishment of a culture of peace in Eastern Anatolia and with people of neighbouring countries by 2012. The JP contributed to the debate on development of sustainable/community-based tourism in Turkey. Experiences and lessons were instrumental in developing new initiatives within the Ministry of Culture and Tourism for supporting the capacities of local and central actors for development of the sustainable/community-based tourism. This included the improvement of the legislative framework and strengthening the dialogue with actors engaged in the management of cultural assets and tourism, as a separate capacity development initiative engaging relevant line ministries involved in sustainable community based tourism.
