Products such as honey, royal jelly, pollen, propolis, beeswax, and bee venom are obtained from beekeeping, which is carried out using traditional methods in a natural environment. Since ancient times, honey and honey products have been used for various treatments. Today, apitherapy, that is, healing by honeybees and their products, is seen as a natural healing pill medicine. With apitherapy can be achieved health protection, strengthening, improvement of blood circulation, reduction of inflammation, treatment of gum disease, vitality and strength. Beekeeping and apitherapy are connected with tourism and are seen as part of health tourism. Health tourists who want to get natural life and healing from nature participate in apitherapy activities to have unique experiences and discoveries in an ecological environment, to observe the production of honey bees and their products, to taste, to recover or protect their health. In the study, which was adopted by the qualitative research method, data were collected from various sources (books, journals, articles, theses, legal texts, newspapers, etc.) by making document analysis. This study tries to draw attention to the place and importance of honeybees and their products in people's lives from the past to the present, and to show the positive effects of apitourism from socio-cultural, socio-economic, socio-psychological and ecological aspects. Apitourism; it has been determined that it has a special and privileged place in the tourism market due to its positive effects on socio-cultural, socio-economic, socio-psychological and environmental aspects. However, it is possible that api tourism activities that will be developed in a planned and controlled manner can create such positive effects, otherwise negative social, economic, environmental and psychological effects may cause irreversible damages. Among the studies reached in the literature review, no study focused on the negative effects of api tourism has been found. In addition, it has been concluded that api tourism potential can be evaluated in a planned manner in places that come to the fore with beekeeping activities, and that it can be developed both as a niche market and as a complement to other tourism types. 2026-07-16 https://ijotads.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=68511 https://ijotads.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=68511 Okan TÜRKNuray TÜRKOĞLU In this study, it is aimed to determine the role of psychological resilience in the effects of organizational organizational psychological capital levels, turnover intentions and psychological resilience of employees in hotel businesses, and the effects of organizational psychological capital status on their intention to leave.

The activity which joins the actors of this markets or a select part of them, by the complexity of the elements inside, is the tourisme activity. There are many authors who focuse on the importance of cultural manifestations in a community and there are many written books, scientifics articles and studies about this subject. However, around some Romanian destinations, positive effects seem to focus over the destination image’s promotion and just a little bit over a clear boundery of some regions` identities. This regions’ identities should be the starting point to get positive economics and financials effects and local income. There are local opportunities in each region to  border the regions’  indentity and in my opinion it needs a detailed approach to each small destination together with an overview of the source region. So, in this way, it can be built and border the identity of each region, with what it has truely different, reported to the neibourhood regions. This paper, which apparently, focuses on the image of a well known destination, Maramureș, gives emphasis and pulls an alarm signal, that the festivals and the other cultural manifestations, even there are the most efficient way to get quickly income in an archaic and an authentic region, do not create at least a specific identity to each small destination. And these festivals, holidays  and cultural manifestations  are organized in order to do this and over the fact that should make differences between small destinations, it should contribute first of all to develop them. The identity’s problem of the subzones from Maramureș was allways approched from the cultural’s identity point of view and there are not recents studies about this subject. The present paper approches the subject from the point of view of an identity which must sell a touristic destination. 2026-07-16 https://ijotads.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=68898 https://ijotads.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=68898 Muhammet Caner KAYAEda KAYA Nowadays, tourist orientations; It has evolved into tourism activities such as experiencing experiences, seeing different places and cultures, tasting new tastes, and preferring regions where nature is at the forefront.

The realization of these ideas by people reveals the phenomenon of tourism. Cultural sensitivity, intercultural communication and the idea of accepting cultural differences are important because of the intense cultural interaction in tourism activities based on the interaction of people from different cultures. In order to ensure destination satisfaction and the destination to be beneficial in terms of tourism, local people need to create awareness and sensitivity to different cultures apart from their own culture. For this reason, local people have an important responsibility for the sustainability of the destination in terms of tourism. In this context, the aim of the research is to determine the cultural sensitivity levels of the local people, who are an important actor in a touristic region. It is examined whether the local people living in Halfeti destination are sensitive to different cultures. In addition, it is to determine the factors affecting the cultural sensitivity level of the local people and to determine the relations between these factors. 2026-07-16
