Benchmarking is essentially the procedure of measuring the execution of one's organization against the best in the same or other industry (Stevenson 1996). It helps the organization in implementing the best practices and also accelerates the rate of change and provides realistic improvement goals. Benchmarking enables to scrutinize our own process and learn from others. Benchmarking now a days has been a widely used management tool to identify who is best and what makes them successful, in both manufacturing and service companies. It is being used as extension of existing total quality management program. This article discusses on different accepts of bench marking and analysis between two touristic destinations, namely Mardin(Located in Turkey) and Andhra pradesh(Located in India).

  • Mardin from Tales to Legends 2
    1 MARDİN FROM TALES TO LEGENDS 2 künye 3 MARDİN FROM TALES TO LEGENDS 4 Introduction Mesopotamia is among those few names in the world that almost everyone is familiar with. Think of a region that is the birthplace of many tools, philosophies, systems and religions. Think of a region that so much that it pioneered has been adopted throughout the world and has played such an important role in shaping everyday lives. Imagine a place which witnessed so much for the first time: first writing system, first state, first city, first water irrigation sysems, first law and many more. Mardin situated right at the centre of this incredibly rich region can therefore be seen as a fortunate city, blessed in history. It has Anatolia on one side and Mesopotamia on the other, an ancient region which transported so many innovations that had originated in the Middle East to the western world. Despite the common assumption, the word Mesopotamia is not of Middle Eastern origin. It comes from the ancient Greek root words mesos (middle) and potamia (rivers) literally meaning “(land) between rivers.” It is curious that although writing was introduced in the region almost 3000 years earlier than in Greece, the region’s name is of Greek origin rather than a Middle Eastern language. In Syriac, Mesopotamia is called Beth Nahrin. Composed of the words beth (house, land) and nahrin (two rivers), it literally means “the land of/between two rivers.” Based on this, it can be deduced that the region was named not by the Greek civilizations of the west but by the people of the region themselves.
