Nori and Erdogan look to the future but Aussies may help at Gallipoli.
New South Wales Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation, Sandra Nori and Turkish Prime Minister H.E. Recep Tayyip ERDOĞAN in a reception on Friday aimed at promoting trade between Australia and Turkey, both spoke of putting Gallipoli and all it entailed behind us and looking to the future in terms of the relationship between the two countries.
Clearly, while they were not minimising the significance of Gallipoli and in particular in the ANZAC context in any way, it was clear that trade would be the future basis of the relationship between the two countries, with history providing the foundation to future peace and business.
Tourism was one of the commerce areas to have been covered in the seminar following the reception, but the tourism delegates attending from Turkey had clearly had a hard week, as they all decided not to hang on to chat with the tourism attendees from NSW – and who would blame them, with Sydney and all its attractions beckoning on a day with the temperature heading up to 30C!
There could be no better way to promote Sydney to them than letting them experience it first hand, while also boosting tourism income in the city.
An Australian tourism industry leader at the Seminar did reveal to the Mole though that one significant outcome of the visit to Australia by Prime Minister ERDOĞAN could be acceptance of an offer made to Prime Minister ERDOĞAN, Minister Nori and the Turkish Consul General in Sydney, for a group of leading Australia based global tourism infrastructure, eco tourism and marketing consultants to visit Gallipoli to assist the Turkish Government with the rehabilitation of Gallipoli and its future management from a tourism aspect.
Australia is recognised as a leading country in terms of tourism infrastructure management and the protection of historic sites and The Mole was told that the consultants involved in this proposed activity are world leaders in their fields.
It is not known if this offer will be taken up, but if it was, it would be a clear demonstration of cooperation between the two countries in the preservation of Gallipoli and its effective management from a tourism perspective.
