In this context, reduction of foreign trade deficit, technology transfer and commercialization of technology, development of "Innovative and High Value Added Sectors" such as healthcare industry, logistics, communication and information technologies, aviation sector, improvement of human development indicators of our region, protection of the environment and sustainable use of resources. It will be beneficial to conduct studies within the framework of a holistic development approach that includes elements. On the other hand, we believe that the tourism sector will make important contributions to the development of our region. There are 15 works from our country on the permanent list of UNESCO World Cultural Heritage. One of them is Hattusha, the capital of the Hittite Empire in Çorum. In addition, applications for UNESCO Cultural Heritage were made for Samsun Kızılırmak Delta and Bird Paradise and Harsena King Tombs in Amasya and both assets were included in the temporary lists. From now on, the work and procedures that need to be done are completed quickly, and the fact that these two values ​​are included in the permanent list and registered as world heritage will contribute to the development and protection of our region's tourism. Speaking of tourism, efforts to develop international connections that will utilize the tourism potential in our region should be addressed separately. Providing tourists from the Middle East and North African countries known as the MENA region to come to our region is an area of ​​activity in this context. The OKA Stand, which was opened at the Jeddah Tourism and Travel Fair in the past weeks, should also be opened at Riyadh and Dubai Fairs, and efforts to promote our region better in the Gulf countries and the Middle East markets by participating more tourism agencies, hospitals and hotel owners in these fairs.
