Abstract:
This paper deals with Turkey’s alignment with the EU norms in the area of tourism and consists of two main parts: Part one is an account of the European Union’s approach to the tourism policy and the recent developments observed. Part two attempts to assess the progress made by Turkey in the adoption of the Acquis pertaining to tourism that covers a broad range of topics such as the internal market policy, competition policy, public health and consumer protection policies, regional development policy and the environmental policy, etc. In order to limit the scope, the discussion expands on the main axis of Enterprise and Industrial Policy, which forms the subject matter of Chapter 20 of the Negotiating Framework for Turkey.
