At Ramada Resort Bodrum, we are committed to building positive, respectful, and mutually supportive relationships with our local community. We believe in collaboration, inclusivity, and sustainability — and we strive to achieve the following principles:
• We actively encourage and support local community participation and empowerment in all aspects of our operations.
• We respect the intellectual property rights, culture, and traditions of local and indigenous communities when engaging or collaborating with them.
• We ensure that local residents and indigenous communities are not discriminated against in hiring, employment, procurement, or tender processes, whether as individuals or community groups.
• We work to increase local employment rates by raising awareness and creating opportunities for residents in our region.
• We offer preferential consideration to local suppliers and service providers, ensuring fair participation in our supply chain.
• Whenever possible, we prioritize sourcing goods and services locally, especially in categories such as fish, meat, fruits, and vegetables.
• We encourage our guests to explore local communities, experience authentic traditions, and engage in cultural excursions.
• The hotel never restricts public access to shared resources such as water supplies or essential community services.
• We consult and collaborate with the local community on any development that may affect them, taking their feedback into account and responding appropriately.
• We conduct impact assessments in advance of any development that could influence the local environment or community.
• Our internal purchasing policy gives preference to local services and suppliers wherever possible.
• We promote local products and services to our guests by recommending local guides, markets, and artisans.
• We seek opportunities to contribute to the community by providing services or facilities not otherwise available.
• Through direct contributions or participation in local tourism councils, we support the maintenance and improvement of public spaces, infrastructure, and shared community areas, ensuring these efforts are properly documented.
• We encourage all guests to discover and appreciate the destination in a responsible and sustainable way.
• When our facilities are made available to non-residents (including local community members), they are treated equally and without discrimination.
• We guarantee public access rights to roads and common areas — no barriers, signage, or restrictions are ever placed that could prevent access.
Through these commitments, Ramada Resort Bodrum aims to create lasting, positive impacts on our community and environment, fostering a sense of shared growth, respect, and cooperation.
