The distinguished city of Tokat, Turkey, an archaeologically significant city rich in history, culture and nature will host the 16th Ecotourism and Sustainable Tourism Conference of The International Ecotourism Society (TIES) July 27- 31st 2021. After this exciting announcement, we had a conversation with Tokat\u2019s esteemed mayor, Attorney Ey\u00fcp Ero\u011flu.  Mayor Ero\u011flu is one of Turkey\u2019s youngest mayors, and is renowned for his successful efforts on behalf the geographically diverse city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mayor Ero\u011flu discussed\nwith us the many reasons Tokat is an ideal choice for the ESTC ecotourism\nconference this year. He explained that even with the 1500-year ancient city\u2019s abundant\nhistory\u2014dating back to the 5th century\u2014Tokat has also become one of the most\nconvenient cities in terms of ecological and sustainable tourism in Turkey. Mayor\nEro\u011flu told us, \u201cAlong with Tokat\u2019s friendly local people and their welcoming outlook,\nTokat Municipality will make every effort to develop our city’s tourism to be\nrepresented in the international arena, and we will accomplish this in a sustainable\nway.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The variegated,\nelevated natural structure of Tokat\u2019s geography and the effect of the\ntransitional climate has provided the foundation for 14 civilizations while\nmaintaining complex ecological diversity and a truly appreciable variety of\ngastronomical tastes. Tokat\u2019s geographical location in the middle of the Black\nSea and Anatolia has proved the ideal place for these many civilizations to\nthrive and prosper for centuries, and allows for a rich touristic experience\ntoday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tokat boasts eighty-two thriving varieties of cereals, vegetables and fruit crops, with the wide production culminating into memorable gastronomic creations such as Tokat\u2019s celebrated Tokat Kebab. Additionally, Tokat is a city resplendent with numerous local and original flavors such as grape leaves, molasses, walnuts and fenugreek. All this takes place under the historic shadow of Tokat Castle, which has endured for centuries and also makes an ideal tourism spot for a visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the conference host, Mayor Ero\u011flu assures attendees that they will enjoy Tokat and the ESTC.  \u201cTokat Municipality welcomes The International Ecotourism Society and its valuable guests to our city and looks forward to focusing international attention to our thriving, unique destination. We hope to have the opportunity to show the world our cultural legacy and conference hospitality. We are sure that ecotourists and travelers will collect many unforgettable memories in Tokat, and witness our true Anatolian heritage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
