The 5th Gastronomy Festival has begun in Niğde.

The 5th Gastronomy Festival, organized in cooperation with the Niğde Governorship, the Municipality, Ömer Halisdemir University and the Gastro Niğde Association, has begun under the slogan "The Heart of the City Will Beat from the Gastronomy Festival!" The festival, accompanied by a program full of panels, conferences, concerts and competitions, will continue until 23 October with flavor, music and entertainment.

In the Inter-University Cooking Competition held as part of the festival, students from Kayseri University's Develi Hüseyin Şahin Vocational School achieved great success. The students drew attention by taking first place in the "Modern Turkish Cuisine" and "Healthy Foods" categories and second place in the "Dessert Plate" category.

On this occasion, we remember with mercy and longing the late Hüseyin Şahin, one of our former TÜROB Presidents, after whom the school is named.

Hüseyin Şahin, who passed away on 5 February 2007 following a heart attack he suffered in Istanbul, made important contributions to the tourism sector as a TÜROB Board Member from 25.02.1986 to 21.03.1996, as TÜROB Vice President from 21.03.1996 to 12.04.2000, and as TÜROB President from 12.04.2000 to 28.02.2004.

Also known for his philanthropic character, Hüseyin Şahin continues both to support education and to keep his name alive by bringing qualified individuals into the sector through the vocational school named after him in his hometown of Develi, Kayseri.
