Etkinlikler genellikle turistik bir çekicilik olarak kabul edilirler. Dolayısıyla küçük büyük bütün yerleşim yerleri kimi zaman yerel, kimi zaman ulusal veya uluslararası etkinlikler düzenleme arayışı içindedirler. Gerek sahip olduğu tarihi miras gerekse doğal ve kültürel kaynaklarından dolayı Türkiye, etkinlik anlamında önemli bir potansiyele sahiptir. Ancak düzenlenen etkinlikler çoğunlukla küçük ölçekli, yerel nitelikte ve gerektiği gibi planlanıp yönetilmediğinden etkinlik turizmi potansiyelinden yeterince yararlanılamadığı gözlenmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı öncelikle Türkiye’nin etkinlik turizmi potansiyelinin değerlendirilmesi ve sonrasında etkinlik turizminden daha etkin yararlanabilmek için bir yol haritası ortaya konulmasıdır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda öncelikle etkinliklerin düzenlendiği destinasyonlar üzerindeki etkileri incelenmiştir. İzleyen bölümde Türkiye’nin etkinlik turizmi potansiyeli ele alınmış, son bölümde ise etkinlik turizminden beklenen faydaların elde edilmesi için yapılması gerekenler tartışılmıştır. Tartışmalar yerel halkın katılımının da sağlanacağı bir planlama modelinin önemine işaret etmektedir.

An Evaluation of Event Tourism Potential of Turkey

Öz

Events are often viewed as tourist attractions. Therefore, small or large, all the destina‐tion are in search for organizing local, national or sometimes international events. In this sense, Turkey has an abundant potential for the event tourism thanks to its heritage and, natural and cultural resources. However, this potential is not well‐benefited since the or‐ganized events are mostly small in scale, local or short in duration due to lack of approp‐riate planning and management. In this regard, this study aims to evaluate event tourism potential of Turkey, and offer a roadmap for better management of these events. In this regard, initially the impacts of events on hosting destinations are scrutinized. Next, event tourism potential of Turkey is examined, and in the last section a guideline is offered in order to better benefit of the event tourism. The study discussions underline the impor‐tance of participatory planning that incorporates the local residents.
