Examination of Nature-Based Adventure Tourism Routes in Erzincan Province

Öz

The aim of this study is to identify nature-based adventure tourism routes to reveal the potential for adventure tourism in Erzincan province. The Wikiloc platform was used to determine these routes. This platform is a comprehensive international platform where participants in nature-based activities create and share their hiking trails. A qualitative and quantitative research method was employed in the study. In this context, the written and visual data on popular trails in Erzincan Province, as featured on the Wikiloc platform’s website, were examined and subjected to content analysis. The data obtained were systematically categorised under the headings of adventure activities. Based on the findings from the content analysis and a review of the literature, a SWOT analysis was carried out to highlight Erzincan’s potential for adventure tourism. The findings revealed that 1191 routes recorded in Erzincan are grouped under 16 different adventure activity categories. These activity types include hiking, car riding, off-road driving, running, enduro motorcycling, alpinism, road cycling, off-road motorcycling, mountain biking, walking, off-piste skiing, cycling tours, alpine skiing, via ferrata, and paragliding. The popular routes that have emerged under these headings include, first and foremost, the Kemaliye district, where numerous activities can be enjoyed: ‘Taş Yol’, ‘Karanlık Kanyon’, ‘Via Ferrata’ and ‘Apçağa Village’; as well as ‘Munzur’, ‘Ergan Ski Centre’ and ‘Girlevik Waterfall’ in the regional centre and other districts, “Sakaltutan”, “Cimin (Üzümlü)”, “İliç”, “Kemah”, “Ekşisu”, “Yedigöller Esence”, “Kazankaya”, “Otlukbeli”, “Aygır Gölü” and “Konarlı Waterfall”, have emerged as frequently visited and highly rated routes.
