A view to tourism investment policies in Turkey in the context of globalization process and sustainability

Abstract

The concept of globalization is a process of change with very arguable and septic approaches in economic, political, socio-cultural and legal areas and it was first used in 1960, more frequently used in 1980s and afterwards (Bozkurt, 2000: 18), then it became more widespread and obvious through the passing time. This change was established after the II. World War, became more efficient especially after 1980 and it is named as the new world order (Rennen & Martens, 2003: 140). Globalization increases the economic scale internationally, causes similarities in consumption habits, increases the product variety as a result of transition from Fordist production to different production forms with a different technology and logic, accelerates the technology transfers and causes fast developments and shares in international communication and informatics.
