The online encyclopedia on world tourism has been published with open access

The Encyclopedia of World Tourism, prepared on the basis of the scientific database of the Turkish Tourism Encyclopedia consisting of more than 11,000 entries, has been presented to readers on an open-access digital platform. The publication is in English and is located at tourismemory.org.

According to the project coordinator, Professor Nazmi Kozak, the encyclopedia is the first and most comprehensive encyclopedia of its kind in the world with its approach covering all fields related to and adjacent to tourism. This is the project leader's own statement.

For those working in the hospitality and food service sector, open-access sources carry practical value: it is possible to use a single source in English for market research, training material, or initial familiarization with new destinations. Educational institutions providing tourism and hospitality education in Azerbaijan, as well as facilities hosting international guests, can benefit from this platform as a reference source.
