We engage in thought-provoking conversations with key figures from the hospitality world, including Nausika Georgiadou, founder of Skinopi Lodge, as we explore cultural heritage, sustainability, and the evolving dynamics of hospitality. Excerpts below, full story in the first issue.</p><h2 fr-original-style="" style="margin: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.85); font-weight: 500; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;"><strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">How can tourism and cultural heritage mutually safeguard one another?</strong></h2><p fr-original-style="" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; box-sizing: border-box;">“While today [hammams] are often viewed primarily as tourist attractions, I believe in the importance of collective memory. I think the Zeyrek Çinili Hamam can recreate this sense of belonging through history, culture, and art, bringing together people of all ages and backgrounds.” —Koza Güreli Yazgan, <a fr-original-style="" href="https://www.zeyrekcinilihamam.com/en?utm_source=aposto" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: rgb(9, 9, 9); text-decoration: none; background-color: transparent; outline: none; cursor: pointer; transition: color 0.3s; touch-action: manipulation; user-select: auto; box-sizing: border-box;" target="_blank">Zeyrek Çinili Hamam</a>, The Marmara Group Board Member</p><h2 fr-original-style="" style="margin: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.85); font-weight: 500; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;"><strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">What could cultural revival in Cappadocia mean for the region?</strong></h2><p fr-original-style="" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; box-sizing: border-box;">“From a tourism perspective, elements like art, gastronomy, and natural beauty are key factors that can highlight a destination on the tourism map and diversify tourism. This, in turn, attracts more tourists to the region. [...] I hope that A.R.C. will one day attract responsible tourists to Cappadocia, achieving its goal of making a meaningful contribution to the area.” —Tolga Akarcalı, <a fr-original-style="" href="https://taskonaklar.com/en/a-r-c-a-residence-of-creation/#:~:text=Having%20started%20its%20life%20in,even%20more%20importantly%20a%20landscape?utm_source=aposto" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: rgb(9, 9, 9); text-decoration: none; background-color: transparent; outline: none; cursor: pointer; transition: color 0.3s; touch-action: manipulation; user-select: auto; box-sizing: border-box;" target="_blank">A Residency of Creation</a> (A.R.C.)

By connecting the outsider, the visitor, with the locals, this exchange can inform, elevate, inspire, and revitalize. At its worst, tourist hubs can alter the local fabric, especially when they cater to economic demands that alienate us from the DNA of a place. As long as hotels understand the importance of preservation and act in respect of tradition, whilst governments employ a similar moral compass, the relationship between visitors and the locals can lead to a positive exchange.” &nbsp;—Eftihia Stefanidi, <a fr-original-style="" href="https://mona-athens.com/?utm_source=aposto" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: rgb(9, 9, 9); text-decoration: none; background-color: transparent; outline: none; cursor: pointer; transition: color 0.3s; touch-action: manipulation; user-select: auto; box-sizing: border-box;" target="_blank">Mona Athens</a> Creative Director</p>
