This chapter reports on the extent of the collaboration among the founders and other stakeholders during the development and management stages of a cultural route in Turkey. The chapter uses Wood and Gray’s (1991) theoretical framework on collaboration. The qualitative data were collected via face-to-face and telephone interviews with 28 experts and key stakeholders. Taking the Europe to Turkey on Foot project as a case study, the chapter displays the collaborative efforts of the conveners, emphasizing the critical issues that arose during the planning and management stages. The chapter makes suggestions for future studies in relation to the governance of cultural routes.

This study examines the impacts of small-sized tourism projects to gain insights into how they contribute to sustainable development, especially in rural areas. Using the impact value chain analysis as a conceptual model, we evaluated 15 projects that were supported by the Future is in Tourism Fund in Turkey between 2013 and 2018. We did a content analysis of all manner of documentation related to the projects, surveys and interviews conducted with project owners and program partners. We found that small-sized tourism projects enhanced all forms of capital, with human, social, and built capitals improving the most. The capitals had multidirectional compounding effects on each other. We also found that it makes no difference which capital one begins with; what is important is that activities should be planned strategically in a way that multiple capitals interact, which contributes to growth in other capitals, thus creating a greater impact. The study reveals that, to maximise benefits, it is important to first identify gaps in resources and determine the social goals of the community, and that with strong leadership and community and institutional involvement, such projects have the power to impact societal wellbeing. The study has implications for tourism developers, local communities, and policymakers who are interested in implementing small-sized tourism projects as a tool for sustainable development.

This chapter evaluates a program displaying features of Corporate Sustainability and Responsibility (CSR 2.0) of a Turkish company specialized in beverage production, which decided to dedicate a large part of its CSR agenda to sustainable tourism. The programme was planned and implemented in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). We focus our analyses on the good corporate governance dimension of CSR 2.0, for which we evaluate the operationalization of a selection of indicators we put forward: the cross sector social partnerships, dynamic co-creation of value, leadership and transparency. The potential contribution of this programme to a selected set of the 2030 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is also being assessed. Empirical findings suggest that all selected indicators are complementary in achieving social value and contribute indeed to some key SDGs. The results also indicate the need to identify alternative operationalizations and additional indicators for good corporate governance of CSR 2.0, in different tourism contexts.

Organizations adopt diverse strategies to govern the technical and managerial aspects of sustainability implementation processes. The need for better leading and managing people-related issues emerges as companies aim for more effective change towards sustainability. The human aspect of the sustainability implementation process is mostly not paid enough attention, but it can significantly affect the success of a change management program by creating hurdles or easing the process. This study considers three human-related factors: resistance to change, internal communication, and employee engagement in sustainability activities of organizations. The aim of the study is to explore how these human factors are managed by tourism companies for organizational sustainability. For this purpose four companies from different sectors of tourism are chosen as case studies and the results are examined using qualitative data analysis techniques. The results indicate that the companies which are in a more advanced stage of sustainability implementation manage human factors using a greater number of channels and employ varied strategies. The results can provide insights into how organizations tackle the challenges of managing human aspect and display the practices that contribute to successful change management programs for achieving organizational sustainability through people.

Cittaslow (‘slow-towns'), a network of 182 towns, is contributing to local urban development. The aim is to improve the quality of life in slow-towns. These improvements also have the potential of developing tourism as the towns become more “visitor-friendly”. Data were collected through a combination of face-to-face interviews, workshops and observations conducted in Vize, one of the nine Cittaslow destinations in Turkey. The Cittaslow indicators, projects and events are used to illustrate the power of the network. The study describes numerous ongoing projects that will positively affect the quality of life for residents in the community and enhance visitor experience. Findings suggest that the residents are supportive of the initiatives and are becoming more involved in the Cittaslow activities. Tourism is found to be at the initial stages of its development.

Sustainable tourism has the potential of contributing to local development while protecting the natural environment and preserving cultural heritage. Implementation of this form of tourism requires human resources that can assume effective leadership in sustainable development. The purpose of the international student program, described in this paper, was to develop and implement an educational methodology to fulfill this need. The study, which was developed and applied by two universities, took place in August 2013, in the study setting of Kastamonu, Turkey. The effectiveness of the program was measured by pre- and post-surveys using the Global Citizenship Scale developed by Morais and Ogden. The findings document a change in intercultural communication, global knowledge and political voice dimensions of the scale.

The aim of this paper is to describe an international student project as a referential methodology for sustainable tourism education. Sustainable tourism is widely accepted and advocated as a tool for sustainable development of local communities by international organizations and scientific community (Castellani and Sala, 2010). It has the potential of contributing to local development while protecting natural environment and preserving cultural heritage. In spite of this potential, there are serious obstacles in sustainable tourism development, some of which include inadequate policy framework and an accompanying institutional structure to support stakeholder involvement. Removal of these obstacles seems to require human resources that can assume effective leadership in sustainable development. The purpose of the international student project described in this paper is to develop and implement an educational methodology to fulfill this need. This international student project, which is a joint student project of the Department of Tourism Administration at Bogazici University and School of Tourism and Hospitality Management at San Diego State University, took place in August 2013 in the study setting of Kastomonu, Turkey. Kastamonu is one of the areas designated for tourism development according to Tourism Strategy 2023 Report of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. In this project students have worked on developing a Sustainability Guide to help the community of Kastamonu to implement sustainable tourism development. In developing this guide, students were asked to evaluate whether residents of Kastamonu community can achieve sustainability through tourism development. In this guide assessment of sustainability is based on The Happiness Initiative, a US program, currently being coordinated by Sustainable Seattle. This Happiness initiative measures the level of welfare and development in a community along nine dimensions, namely Environment and Nature; Good Government; Material Well-being; Psychological Well being, Physical Health; Time and Work-Life Balance; Social Vitality and Connection; Education; and Arts and Culture. Students have worked in mixed groups of four and followed a program that enabled them to make observations on each of the above mentioned dimensioned dimensions. At the end of the program, they made presentations to a group of local stakeholders. The impact of this educational methodology on the leadership qualities for sustainable tourism development, a survey instrument was administered both before and after the project implementation. The Global Citizenship Scale developed by Morais and Ogden (2011) was used in this survey instrument. The results indicate a change in global citizenship score of the students along some dimensions of this score, as well as their conceptions about sustainable tourism development. An educational project with specific aims that incorporate dimensions contributing to sustainability seems to...
