Flora turizmi, son yıllarda biyolojik çeşitliliğe artan ilgilerle beraber, bunların korunması ve geliştirilmesine paralel olarak ortaya çıkan alternatif turizm ve ekoturizm gibi turizm türlerinin bir alt dalıdır. Bu çalışma, flora turizmi aktivitelerinde katılımcıların eğilimlerini ve tercihlerini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışma, 200 kişiyi kapsayan Atatürk Üniversitesi, Ziraat Fakültesi öğrencileri ve Türk Hava Yolları Erzurum-Antalya seferi yolcularından turizm amacıyla seyahat edenlere yöneltilen anket sorularını kapsamaktadır. Çalışma sonucunda, flora turizmi ile ilgili olarak katılımcıların büyük çoğunluğu ilkbahar mevsimini tercih etmişlerdir. Yine katılımcıların büyük çoğunluğu, flora turizmi aktivitesi için en az bir gün veya bir hafta geçirilmesi gerektiğini belirtirken, mekan tercihlerini, su kıyıları ve ormanlık alanlardan yana kullanmışlardır. Anketler sonucunda en fazla ilgi çeken bitki tipleri; kokulu bitkiler, geofit bitkiler ve endemik bitkiler olurken, katılımcıların bu turizm aktivitesindeki öncelikleri ise güvenlik, manzara güzelliği ve vejetasyon zenginliği olmuştur
