A light show was held at Galata Tower in cooperation with the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). The display aims to protect cultural heritage and raise awareness.
The event at Galata Tower, Istanbul's iconic landmark, is being evaluated within the framework of an important project covering a UNESCO World Heritage site. It was noted that cooperation of this kind for the protection of cultural values will continue.
The Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the UN Office on Drugs and Crime launched a campaign to protect cultural heritage with a light show at Galata Tower. The project aims to raise public awareness against illegal trafficking and damage to historical monuments.
A new protection mechanism for Galata Tower, one of Istanbul's most symbolic structures, has been put into effect; this creates a stronger defense against illegal sales and damage to urban heritage. Since trafficking and destruction of cultural assets directly affect the tourism sector and the city's economic and identity value, this campaign will also be reflected in Istanbul's tourism planning for the coming period.
