Large investments made because of high tourism revenues in touristic destinations can threaten balanced growth, ecological sensitivity and sustainable tourism principles. To raise awareness of this situation and draw attention to unsustainable tourism approaches, this study is presented with the situation approach method. The main purpose of this research is to determine the negative effects of unsustainable tourism approaches in tourist destinations. In this context, case studies are frequently used and are the preferred qualitative research method. The Historical Peninsula of Istanbul, Bodrum, Uzungöl and Hasankeyf, which will be examined in line with the principles of sustainable tourism, are understood to be damaged in four basic categories: unplanned construction, sound pollution, exposure to environmental destruction and overtourism pressure. The results of unsustainable tourism approaches are seen in these regions, which are more and more negatively affected by the increasing number of tourists and unconscious tourism policies. Contrary to scientific studies that generally focus on sustainable tourism policies, this study reveals the mistakes made with case approach evidence and develops some ideas for the solution to the problem. It also has remarkable results in terms of showing the obstacles in front of sustainability.

As in all areas of the tourism sector, it is considered a necessity rather than a choice to adapt to technological developments in kitchens that provide food and beverage services. It is unthinkable that the kitchens, which are foreseen to take place in the future, will be independent of robotic tools. From this point of view, this research also addresses the current structure of robotic use in kitchen technology and evaluates the technological tools that are planned to be used in the future. In this context, attention is drawn to the situation of the sector based on the products and applications of 'Moley Robotics', one of the world's leading companies in robotic use. In line with the results obtained from the research, it is seen that the use of robotics in all areas of the kitchen has started to become widespread and it is predicted that this situation will increasingly continue in the coming years. When the social media (Instagram) interactions of the Moley Robotics organization are observed, it is understood how important the use of robotics is in kitchen applications.

With the increasing importance of communication in human life, the importance of this field has increased. On the other hand, communication is equally important for destinations with high competition. The destination needs effective communication resources to maintain its current existence and development. In this context, the aim of this research is to reveal the effect of the use of communication tools that are frequently used today, such as social media, on the promotion of the destination. Within the scope of the research, the social media accounts of the top organizations that play a key role in the promotion of the destination were examined by content analysis, one of the qualitative analysis methods. The research findings were limited to the province of Şanlıurfa and were obtained from the social media accounts of the organizations that are effective in the promotion of the destination. In the light of these data, it is seen that although the promotion of the destination is tried to be conducted well in Instagram and Twitter accounts, other social media accounts are insufficient in this regard. In addition to developing a different approach to the related field, this research provides original information since such a study related to the destination has not been conducted before.
In this research, it is aimed to reveal the current situation and trends in the related subject by examining the master's and doctoral theses prepared in Turkey in the relationship between communication and tourism with the bibliometric analysis method. In this context, 34 postgraduate thesis studies, which are related to the subject and which were shared and accessed by the Higher Education Institution database between 1990-2022, were included in the research. The data obtained from the research were analyzed with the help of SPSS statistical analysis package program, and frequency and percentage analyzes of the data were made. In the light of research findings; It has been determined that the most postgraduate theses among universities were prepared within the body of 'Selçuk University'. In addition to this, it has been concluded that 'quantitative research' methods are mostly used as a method in the researches. It is understood that the terms 'Tourism', 'Communication' and 'Public Relations' come to the fore in the keywords used in graduate theses. With this research, by drawing attention to the concepts of tourism and communication within the framework of postgraduate research, suggestions are made to researchers and stakeholders to examine them in different dimensions.
