OTI Holding

OTI Holding accepts and implements the sustainable tourism principles, as a part of its institutional quality standards. Conributing to the development of tourism and continuing our activities in this field with the cooperation of related institutions are some of the most impotant objectives of OTI Holding. We believe that a sustainable tourism is only possible through people and institutions generating global strategies without forgetting about the local values, while respecting the history and multi-cultural structure of the country. The sustainable environment, the effective use of natural resources to deliver prosperity and the preservation of cultural heritage became the entire world's common issues. For this reason, the preservation of natural resources is not considered as a marketing tool. We see it as a field where we can create original and participatory projects and we adopt it as a communication tool to reach the global world. We are aware of the fact that we can leave a planet, with unexhausted reserves to our children, who represent our future. And this is only possible with the respect of natural resources and the recycling attitude. In long term, the establishment of a natural life will only be possible by respecting the nature and organisms complementing it. As OTI Holding, we share the concerns of people carrying for environmental issues. As of 2009, we decided to go one step further and instead of just observing the global issues, we decided to take a part in projects concerning the exhaustion of natural reserves and the protection of living spaces. We are aware of our responsibility in respect of effective and clean use of consumable resources such as water and energy besides our responsibility for the prevention of the destruction of our planet caused by global warming. The improvement of the quality of the air we breathe by reducing the carbon dioxide emission, the development and enhancement of the natural flora and the correct use of underground and surface resources are the other responsibilities. So, we would like to announce that, as of 2009, we will adopt effective measures making environmental management an important component of our quality standards and realize them first within our affiliates. Within this context, we decided to start our projects to become a model company that makes difference with the environmental management program applicable within the structure of all the affiliates. Within the scope of OTI Holding and its affiliates, we aim to generate economic benefits, primarily for the enterprise and then on national and international basis, by applying water and energy saving programs, using raw materials safe for the environment and using recyclable and renewable sources of energy. We believe that the sustainability of tourism will only be possible if concerned people do the necessary for good achievements. As OTI Holding, we aim to work to protect the natural and cultural resources and we plan to work in order to improve the environmental quality and to become an institution that adds value to the industry, with the operations conducted in light of global tourism principles. Within this scope, we expect our activities, initiated in 2009 and covering the protection and development of the environment, to be supported by our affiliates through events, messages, promotional activities or with the use of recyclable materials. As OTI Holding, we present our emblem provided in attachment and designed to symbolize our common determination and sensitivity in environmental issues with our slogan "Let's leave a green, livable world to our children" and we expect that all our affiliates would process and work on this theme by 2009. We would like to highlight the importance of handling the subject with the same sensitivity.
