Barut Hotels has received Booking.com’s Partner Spotlight – Cultural Heritage Award in recognition of its long-term commitment to preserving cultural heritage and its approach to sustainable tourism.
With a distinguished history of more than 55 years in Antalya, Barut Hotels has won the Cultural Heritage Award presented under Booking.com’s Partner Spotlight programme. The award is a significant recognition of the brand’s efforts to protect, sustain and pass on the cultural values of the destinations in which it operates to future generations.
Viewing sustainability as more than environmental practices alone, Barut Hotels places the protection of nature, responsible use of natural resources, support for local communities and preservation of cultural heritage at the heart of its operations. In line with this approach, the brand supports the archaeological excavations in the Ancient City of Side, contributing to the research, preservation and transmission of the region’s millennia-old history. This support reflects Barut Hotels’ belief that tourism is not only about benefiting from the values a destination offers, but also about preserving them and carrying them into the future.
Yasemin Işık, Corporate Communications and Marketing Director of Barut Hotels, stated that the brand brings a holistic approach to luxury hospitality by connecting its deep-rooted heritage with the dynamics of the present day. Işık noted that, through investments ranging from sustainability to digital transformation, Barut Hotels aims to help shape the future of tourism; defining luxury not only through products, but through meaningful experiences enriched by culture, art, gastronomy and wellbeing. With a focus on guest experience, digitalisation and human capital, Barut Hotels aims to create experiences that add value to its guests’ lives at every touchpoint.
The Booking.com Partner Spotlight – Cultural Heritage Award represents both valuable recognition of Barut Hotels’ work to date and renewed motivation on its journey to create even greater value for nature, culture and society.
