Öz
The uncontrolled and continuous use of natural resources as a result of raised industrialization, urbanization and rapid population growth in recent years, has caused environmental degradation. The natural, artificial and cultural attractiveness of destinations has an impact on the tourism demand for the destination. Environmental sustainability has become prominent due to increased environmental awareness, augmented demand for higher quality tourism services by tourists and challenging competition between destinations. Within the context of environmental sustainability, the priority is to ensure the sustainability of the environment and natural resources. In this study, it is aimed to determine environmental sustainability perception of domestic visitors. In accordance with this purpose the data were gathered from 203 domestic tourists visiting Fethiye. The results indicated that level of environmental sustainability perception of domestic visitors were high. In addition, it was also examined whether environmental sustainability perceptions of domestic visitors differ according to some demographics.
