As you might imagine in a place like Antalya, tourism education is a big deal, and there are even schools at the secondary level dedicated to teaching tourism. I was approached the other day by this young tourism student, who told me she’d been given an assignment by her teacher to follow a foreigner around, find out what foreigners like to do, what they think of Turkey, and so forth. As it turned out, I was on my way to the beach, which seems like such a cliché, but was actually highly unusual as I’m not really a fan and hadn’t been to the beach in a couple of years. We had a great conversation and although I’m not sure how much she learned about what foreigners like to do, I enjoyed meeting her and I hope she was able to report positive things back to her class.
