Determining The Rural Tourism Awareness Level of Visitors Participating in Güvende Highland Festival

Abstract

There are a lot of unspoiled rural tourism options in Turkey due to its rich geographical features. Güvende Highland in Kürtün County of Gümüşhane Province is one of these well-preserved rural tourism options waiting to be recognized. In this context, this study aimed to determine the rural tourism awareness level of visitors coming to the Highland by investigating the socio-economic structures of them. To do this, binary logit analysis was employed in the study. It was found as a result of the analysis that the gender of the visitors, marital status, education status, employment, the number of family members, problems they nd important (accommodation, advertisement, economy and communication) were statistically signi cant. In addition, the visitors were interviewed about highland festivals. It was put forth once again that the limitations determined by this study and demonstrated statistically should be handled. State support to rural tourism areas should be increased. Highland festivals should also be introduced in mass and social media.
