Adaptation of Local Businesses To the New Era During the Covid-19 and the Russia-Ukraine War: Case of Cesme
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023) Nazli, Murat
Turkey's economic impact has been severe due to the lack of international tourists and the Covid-19 pandemic. Specifically, the tourist destination cesme has suffered economic fluctuations due to decreased international visitors, the Russia-Ukraine war, and insufficient domestic tourists to fill the gap. The study aims to identify deficiencies that help stakeholders manage tourism development amid Covid-19 and the Russia-Ukraine war. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews (n = 34) with local business owners operating for at least 25 years. The study provides insights into the recent tourism development during the pandemic and presents a high level of resilience among local businesses. The business owners perceive the current pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war situation differently psychologically. Most resilient business owners look for business opportunities by adapting their business models for long-term survival despite the pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war affecting international tourism.
Sustainable Consumption and Production in Tourism: Case of an Emerging Economy
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Nazli, Murat; Onder, Burcin
The study focuses on sustainable consumption and production, one of the primary Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the UN, in the tourism industry through a semi-structured interview with the business owners and managers. The analysis presents first-hand data from 37 owners, managers, and top-level executives of firms in an emerging economy, Turkey. The study's findings reveal different strategic perspectives of professionals for sustainable consumption and production, especially for staying local, waste management, energy, and water savings. The vast majority of organizations with a sustainable and resilient strategy consider energy and water savings, waste management, and recycling but suffer from uneducated staff, and insufficient waste management. Only a few business owners mentioned green management practices. This exploratory study sheds light on the future agenda for sustainable development, offering insights for both researchers and practitioners.
