Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism Using Turkey's wealth of cultural heritage as a base, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism aims to promote Turkey both domestically and abroad. Turkey's rich tapestry of gastronomy, artistry, diverse history as well as modern architecture, arts and events have all gone into making Turkey one of the world's premier tourism destinations under the aegis of the Ministry. Our efforts going forward include bringing together all the directorates working together under the ministry in tandem towards the same aims and goals.
