It is a stereotypic and learned behaviour because it is been inherited from generation to generation. Faith tourism is a branch open to development with high potential in the field of alternative tourism, history, art, life, and direct culture. The way to be healthy in intercultural communication is through respect, love, and tolerance. To improve awareness of people of different faiths living together, it is necessary to understand the importance of faith and cultural tourism. Present, the province of Adana has a demographically multicultural structure. In this article, Adana was evaluated in terms of faith tourism, local people were interviewed and their opinion on faith tourism and intercultural differences were getting. In general, when the findings of the research are examined, it is that local people in different cultures living together are tolerant and understanding towards each other. According to them, more social events should be held for the people of Adana to get to know each other. A more positive image should be left in the minds of people related to Adana. It is thought that the research will contribute to increasing awareness about the cultural values and historical buildings in Adana. In addition, it is expected that this research on the multiculturalism population of Adana will fill the crack in the literature on intercultural communication and faith tourism.}, number={2}, publisher={Tuncay AYDEMİR}
