ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT OF TOURISM MANAGEMENT AND HOSPITALITY
Tourism sector, one of the fastest growing sectors in the world, contributes greatly to the world economy and employment. Today, the sector, in which 1 out of every 11 employees work around the world, occupies an important place in the world economy, with a share of approximately 3.58%.

The tourism sector is an extremely important sector for national economies. The basic needs of this sector are well-equipped, efficient, tourism-conscious managers and academicians who are qualified to lead the development of tourism in social, economic and technical aspects. These managers and academics should also be equipped with theoretical and practical knowledge, fluent in foreign languages and have a high level of knowledge and management skills, the power to make decisions by research and synthesis, and be visionary and innovative. The education staff of our tourism faculty, which was established to raise such individuals, consists of academicians with both industry and academic experience.

When they graduate, they will be ready to meet the need for qualified workforce, which is extremely important for the tourism industry.
