The Hotel Greening Project Bureau Veritas and the Turkish Hotels and Investors Association (TUROB) came together to give a green light to The Hotel Greening Project in order to move the environmental agenda forward with İstanbul’s hotels by encouraging them to implement environmentally friendly strategies. The pilot project came to life during the 5th World Water Forum’s ‘Green Forum Initiative’ to raise awareness on hotel greening techniques and also to encourage participating hotels to take the first step toward greener accommodation. 26 hotels volunteering to participate in the Hotel Greening Project were audited according to measurements of energy efficiency, water conservation and waste management practices, among other criteria. Hotels attaining a minimum standard received a certificate from Bureau Veritas and the GFI. Top performers in specific star Discover the City of İstanbul categories received the Green Steps Award. As consciousness for the environment grows day by day, environmentally managed hotels are receiving more and more interest. Tourism is one of the most consuming service sectors. So, with the motto “Conservation & Use”, the hospitality sector should be the leader of sustainability in tourism and environment. The Greening Hotels project is a way to improve awareness of both hoteliers and their guests (consumers) to this with hotel managements taking precautions and measures and guests earning new habits and trends. The Greening Hotels project aims to improve energy saving in all areas of hotels from the substructure up to the staff management. Minimum energy wastage without compromising service quality and guest satisfaction are the main concerns. These include the use of the latest A+ energy-saving technologies, employing of environmentally friendly materials in hotel rooms and common areas and educating employees in environment consciousness in order to apply new practices to both offices and guest services. With this project a 100-room hotel saves the following in one year: 500kg in consumption of detergent and a 500-tonne decrease in the consumption of water. Use of re-fill products prevents the consumption of 12,500 pvc bottles and 2.5 tonnes of soap. TUROB transferred 1000kg of paper and 50,000 pieces of waste package to recycling institutions and collected 1200 batteries. (TUROB members in İstanbul collected 100,000 batteries in just two years.) The project induces the hotel and its management to become environmentally friendly and changes the attitudes of staff and guests. So it begins with the hotel but impacts on the trends of the users in all areas and also makes tourism more sustainable – one of the most important sectors economically and peripherally.

The neighborhood is a typical quiet Turkish “mahalle” within a short walking distance to important Byzantian monuments. The restaurant itself lies in the shadow of the mighty Chora Church, which is famous for its mosaics and is one of the most important and well kept buildings of the Byzantine era. Located high up in the foot hills overlooking the Golden Horn, Asitane opened its doors in 1991, together with the Kariye Hotel, a restored 19th century traditional Ottoman mansion. The restaurant, whose dishes reflect the eclectic nature of the Turco-Ottoman neighbourhood, was named Asitane, one of the many names given to İstanbul throughout the reign of the Ottoman Empire. Extensive research was undertaken six months prior to the opening of the restaurant as kitchen registries deep from the archives of Topkapı and Dolmabahçe Palaces were scoured for recipes, and relevant documentation was found in İstanbul’s Beyazıt and Millet libraries. Additional important sources of information for the duration of the preparation period were dug up using old Ottoman dictionaries, the written historic accounts of various statesmen, medical practitioners and soldiers. After 20 years in hospitality, Asitane now boasts an impressive archive comprised of over 450 forgotten sweet and savory recipes, which are prepared in keeping with the cooking methods of 500 years ago. The current menu features dishes originally prepared for the sumptuous celebration feast given for Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent’s two sons, Bayezid II and Şah Cihangir, at Edirne Palace in November 1539 as well as classic dishes of Turkish cuisine. The restaurant periodically offers themed menus such as “The Age of Sultan Mehmet the Conqueror”, “Ottoman Aphrodisiacs”, “Fish and Seafood Ottoman Style” as part of its mission to introduce the tastes of a bygone era to all. Asitane also offers a large selection of fine Turkish wines to accompany this historic feast. Asitane is open everyday from 12:00 am till 23:30, and has a capacity of serving 120 guests indoors during winters, 180 guests at its beatiful garden in summers.

According to Cabinet Council decision number 84/8256, the foundation is nontaxable. In the wake of its establishment, TUGEV has launched consultation services and joint project works with international educational institutions and foreign experts. The proposed initiatives on tourism education in Turkey were adopted by all levels of educational institutions and broad activities were carried out with the cooperation of schools and the industry itself. The Ministry of Culture and Tourism built the OTEM Hotel Management and Educational Center in Kemer, Antalya and granted the facility to TUGEV. Between 1987 and 1993, the center became a modern, internationally recognized educational institution focused on tourism education, which was later the reference for other tourism and hotel management educational institutions in Turkey. Considering the international developments in the sector, TUGEV determined the necessity of organizing for destination promotion and established İstanbul Convention & Visitors Bureau in 1997, the first destination marketing organization in Turkey.
