【Cultural Innovation】Turkey's Sustainable Cultural Tourism Innovation Practices

Through three pillars – "Button House Architectural Revitalization," "Museum Accessibility Experience," and "Turtle Conservation Program" – an innovative model has been established that synergizes Turkey's cultural, social, and natural development. The Antalya Button House enhances earthquake resistance and energy efficiency using traditional wood-and-stone construction techniques, becoming a global exemplar of sustainable architecture. The Museum of Anatolian Civilizations employs 3D printing to create a tactile artifact exhibition hall, enabling visually impaired visitors to experience "barrier-free historical exploration" for the first time, thereby improving tourist experiences. Meanwhile, the Antalya Turtle Guardian Program has successfully guided 54,000 hatchlings to the sea by developing "Turtle-Friendly Tourism" standards. These three initiatives are deeply integrated, forming a sustainable tourism cycle of "heritage protection – social inclusion – ecological friendliness," driving visitor growth in Turkey and setting a benchmark for high-quality development in the cultural tourism industry.
