Sustainability at Golden Bazaar Hotel
In today’s world, maintaining a healthy and prosperous life depends on using the resources of our planet and region wisely, preserving and promoting our cultural heritage, and passing it on to future generations—in other words, adopting a sustainable way of life.
Golden Bazaar Hotel plays an active role in giving back to the planet and society by being deeply committed to sustainable development and value creation. In this context, Golden Bazaar Hotel has identified four key focus areas for its future goals: supporting its employees, considering customers in decision-making processes, innovating with business partners, and collaborating with local communities.
Additionally, Golden Bazaar Hotel has implemented waste-reduction measures, supported local production and recycling in its food operations, and adopted an environmentally friendly water, energy, and waste management system across its facilities. As part of the Golden Bazaar Hotel family, which has been pursuing sustainable development with a global strategy for many years, we take immense pride in driving change across environmental, social, cultural, economic, quality, human rights, health, and safety initiatives in all areas of our hotel.
Our Sustainability Commitments:
- Golden Bazaar Hotel aims to fulfill most of its commitments toward universal sustainable development.
- By 2023, we began implementing the international GSTC (Global Sustainable Tourism Council) Industry Criteria, striving to become one of the hotels in the sector with a “Sustainable Tourism Certificate.”
- We are proud to share that our hotel, which effectively implements a waste management system, has obtained the “T.R. Zero Waste Certificate” as of 2023.

To support our sustainability commitments, we continue to work on the following initiatives:

- Child Protection: We take immediate action if suspicious activities involving children are observed.
- Waste Management: We ensure effective waste separation at the source, categorized by type and hazard level, across all areas of our hotel.
- Cultural Preservation: Proudly located in the heart of Cappadocia, we protect and promote our country’s culture and take actions to educate our guests so they can better experience the surrounding areas.
- Ethical Procurement: We prioritize working with environmentally friendly, local, and ethical suppliers who value local production and services.
- Community Support: With a sense of social responsibility, we support our neighbors and NGOs, developing value-added projects.
We believe that everyone has a role to play in building a sustainable world. Beyond the initiatives mentioned above, we are committed to taking the necessary actions for sustainable development by balancing the protection and use of our sector’s natural, cultural, and social resources.
