Abstract:
Although tourism has been considered as an important activity for the well-beingof the economies and state regulations on tourism have a considerable history inTurkey, the concept of sustainable tourism was first mentioned in the 8th Five-Year Development Plan (2001-2005). Until that time however, almost all shores,forests, natural attractions and high plateaus were announced as tourism areas.In this regard, a productive and rationale use of the natural resources and evenprotection of ecologically and biologically sensitive areas require acomprehensive determination of tourism policies and plans. The aim of the paperis to analyse state policies on sustainable tourism and discuss future plans andprojects of the government in Turkey. Further, the study also aims to offerrecommendations for policy makers in order to better manage the policiesregarding sustainable tourism.
