With the protocol we are inaugurating today, we will have the opportunity to nurture the future architects of tourism.

The recently agreed agreement intends to implement a multilingual education model and provide incentives for the creation of additional tourism and culinary departments at universities.

Students enrolled in tourism-related programs will be taught primarily in English, but they will also need to learn a second language, such as Arabic, Chinese, or Russian.

Ersoy emphasized the importance of the protocol, pointing out that the most important component of tourism is human capital and that the sector urgently needs a workforce of the highest level.

Students will begin interning at significant tourist destinations in their first year.

According to recent Turkish media reports, students’ growing interest in gastronomy education is a reflection of the field’s rising importance.
