                            <p>Ekoturizm, insanların doğal ortamlarda eğlenerek ve doğa harikalarını hayranlıkla izleyerek vakit geçirdikleri bir aktivite türüdür. Doğal güzelliğin en önemli özelliklerinden biri sosyal ve kültürel sakinliği sağlama potansiyelidir. Türkiye&#039;de Mart 2020&#039;de Covid 19 pandemisi salgını haini almaya başlamıştır. Bu çalışma, Giresun&#039;un ekoturizm destinasyonlarını 2018-2021 yılları arasında kaç kişinin ziyaret ettiğini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Özellikle 2020 yılında bölgeye gelen turist sayısı azalmıştır. Giresun İli&#039;ne gelen ziyaretçiler, İl Turizm Müdürlüğü tarafından kentin girişinde kayıt altına alınmaktadır. Turizm acentelerinin kayıtları hem yerli hem de yabancı turistlerin tespitini kolaylaştırmaktadır. Giresun iline 2018 yılında 182313 turist ve 2020 yılında 105064 turist gelmiştir. Covid-19 pandemisi nedeniyle turist sayısında iki yılda 77249 azalma olmuştur. Pandemi kısıtlamalarına rağmen yerli turistler temiz hava ve güzel bir yaşam tarzı sağladığı için eko-turizm mekânlarını tercih etmişlerdir. Giresun&#039;a uzak bölgelerden gelen yerli turistler ekoturizm bölgelerinde konaklamışlardır. Bölgemizde çok sayıda ekoturizm destinasyonu bulunmasına rağmen altyapı, ulaşım alternatifleri ve konaklama imkânlarının yetersizliği nedeniyle çok sayıda ziyaretçinin çevre illere yöneldiği de tespit edilmiştir.</p></trans-abstract>

One of the most important characteristics of natural beauty is its potential to foster social and cultural calm. The Covid 19 pandemic outbreak began in Turkey in March 2020. The purpose of this research was to find out how many individuals visited Giresun&#039;s ecotourism destinations between 2018 and 2021. The number of tourists to the area had decreased, particularly in 2020. Visitors to Giresun Province are registered at the city&#039;s entrance by the Provincial Directorate of Tourism. The existence of tourism agencies facilitates the identification of both domestic and foreign tourists. In 2018 there were 182313 tourists; in 2020 there would be only 105064. There were 77249 fewer tourists in just two years. Despite pandemic restrictions, local tourists prefer ecological places because they provide clean air and a nice way of life. Domestic visitors to the remote Giresun province stayed in ecotourism zones. Despite the fact that our region has several ecotourism destinations, it is obvious that many visitors are leaving for adjacent provinces owing to a lack of infrastructure, transit alternatives, and lodging options.</p></abstract>
