GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Students and faculty from the University of Florida's College of Health and Human Performance will travel to Turkey next month as part of an ongoing effort to promote peace through tourism and cultural understanding.
They will research, create and implement tourism initiatives in collaboration with students and professors from Dokuz Eylul University in Turkey and Armenian State University of Economics.
This trip is part of a three-year cooperative agreement among the three universities to strengthen tourism education, research and industry outreach while bridging the gaps between cultures. Historically, relations between the Turks and Armenians have been strained by a number of political and societal issues that have hindered efforts to unite the region. In October 2009, both countries agreed to establish diplomatic relations, an effort that is still in the early stages of development.
