The Suleyman's Türbe of Szigetvár is a historical monument with exceptional features, which was discovered by Norbert Pap and his research group of the University of Pécs. The strategic aim of the planned Cultural-Tourism Center is to be a strong bastion of cultural tourism in Baranya County, attracting 100,000 to 200,000 visitors to Hungary and internationally, which will operate in a self-sustaining way, creating jobs in the area and generating economic prosperity. During the planning of the Cultural-Tourism Center investment, a module-system component consisting of 3 main elements was created, which are: Central investment, which allows the presentation and visit of the narrowly defined Cultural-Tourist Center. This includes the use of basic, existing infrastructure. Additional investment, including the proposal of the City of Szigetvár for the implementation of the Visitor Center to be established in the immediate vicinity of the Cultural-Tourist Center, and the implementation of the Visitor Center connecting them with the Cultural-Tourism Center. Background investments required to create a complex tourism product, including the connection of historical monuments in Szigetvár and its surroundings with a memorial tour route to the Visitor Center and the Cultural-Tourism Center. The study aims to provide government decision-making with information on project-based approaches to project implementation, thereby assisting government decision-making. In addition, it gives insights about the challenges of a project management approach and the tools that will help in the planning process of other similar investments.
