| In the world where tourism activity is increasing rapidly, more than 1.3 billion people participated in tourism activities in 2017 (URL-1).

As a result, environmental, historical and cultural distortions are experienced and tourism sustainability is negatively affected. In order to reduce the future damages that might be caused by this situation, the spread of the tourism movements to the other regions is planned as a state policy in 2023 … |
