2- What are the benefits of becoming World Heritage?

The biggest advantage of being listed on UNESCO World Heritage List for Bursa is that outstanding universal value of these sites will be registered and recognized by the whole world.
There are tens of examples all over the world that have increased tourism income after getting listed as World Heritage. With the advantage of worldwide recognition of Bursa, in other words “Worldwide Brand” quality, the growing “cultural tourism” potential of the city and region will contribute to economy, and employment and investment options will increase.
BEBKA, Ministry of Culture and Tourism and Bursa Governorship are anticipated to spare more financial resources for projects run under these studies.
Besides, we have a right for constant expertise and technical support from UNESCO World Heritage Centre and affiliated entities.
