N2  - The international tourism industry has begun recording remarkable progress in the Mediterranean countries since the 1950s. Commencing from the 1960s, Emekli Sandığı (Pension Fund) and Turizm Bankası (Tourism Bank), both as investors and entrepreneurs, have taken the responsibility of developing the national tourism industry in Turkey. Club Med Foca (Club Méditerranée) became an example of the cooperation between domestic investors and foreign entrepreneurs. This business emerged as the first case of holiday villages operating on coastal zones where there were no medium or large-scale hospitality businesses in that period of Turkey, except metropolitan cities. This study aims to investigate the investment periods of Club Med Foca and its opening into the business, characteristics from the tourism industry perspective, and major impacts on the economic, social and physical structure of Foca, as a small fishery town. In completing the study, data were collected through news on local media, opinions of bureaucrats affiliated with the Ministry of Tourism, employees worked and guests stayed at Club Med Foca. The conclusions provide the summary that Club Med Foca has had significant consequences both at local and national levels.
