Bachelor's thesis

Abstract:

Tourism, especially in developing countries, can make an important contribution to economic and social development. Tourism has grown significantly since the establishment of the commercial airline industry and the advent of jets in the 1950s. This thesis describes some of the developments that have been taking place in the Turkish tourism industry in the last decade. The future potential of tourism in Turkey was also discussed. The focus is on foreign visitors, popular destinations, and issues facing the tourism industry. Turkey is the preferred destination for tourists especially Russians. Although the country provides an all-year-round destination for foreign visitors, in the summer months it can be unpleasantly crowded. In as much as many tourists prefer coastal tourism, Turkey has many pleasant tourist sites in terms of alternative tourism. Some include; health and thermal tourism, winter sports, hiking and nature tourism, mountain tourism, rural and eco-tourism the congress, and fair tourism. However, various tourism policies are also needed to improve the tourism infrastructure, promote the integration of tourism services, maintain the number of visitors and encourage customers to stay longer, visit additional sites and increase tourist costs. This should be made by the efforts of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and other officials.
