The economic return of the tourism industry is increasing day by day. Destinations that want to increase their share of this increasing economic return want to attract potential tourists by diversifying the tourism services that they offer. In this context, destinations develop and implement special-interest tourism policies such as dark tourism, gastronomy tourism, ecological tourism, balloon tourism, or casino tourism. In this context, the aim of the study is to reveal the positive and negative effects on tourism of the closure of casinos in Turkey, Turkey’s tourism potential within the existing casinos industry, the problems that may arise by allowing casino tourism, and the solutions. The main focus of this study is the casino gaming industry, which was allowed to be opened in Turkey in 1983 and closed after 1998. For this purpose, data were obtained through in-depth interviews with ten hotel operators. According to the results, the closure of casinos in Turkey had negative effects and Turkey has significant casino tourism potential. The creation of a pilot touristic artificial casino city is proposed in which entry and exits are made by foreign passport and can be followed with the latest systems.

Turizm endüstrisinin ekonomik getirisi her geçen gün artmaktadır. Artan bu ekonomik getiriden pay almak veya mevcut payını arttırmak isteyen destinasyonlar ziyaretçilere sundukları turizm hizmetlerini çeşitlendirerek potansiyel ziyaretçileri destinasyona çekmek istemektedir. Bu kapsamda destinasyonlar hüzün turizmi, gastronomi turizmi, ekolojik turizm, balon turizmi, casino (kumar) turizmi gibi özel ilgi turizm strateji ve politikaları geliştirip uygulamaktadır. Bu bağlamda Türkiye’de casinoların kapatılmasının turizme olumlu ve olumsuz etkilerinin, Türkiye’nin mevcut casino turizmi potansiyelinin, casino turizmine izin verilmesi ile ortaya çıkabilecek sorunların ve çözüm önerilerinin ortaya çıkarılması amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada 1983 yılında Türkiye’de açılmasına izin verilmesi ile oluşan casino turizmi ve 1998 yılında kapatılması sonrası üzerine odaklanılmıştır. Bu amaçla on otel işletmecisi ile yapılan görüşmeler ile veriler elde edilmiştir. Çalışmanın senaryosuna göre Türkçe derinlemesine görüşmeler yapılmıştır. Türkiye’de faaliyet veren 5 yıldızlı büyük ölçekli otel tesislerinden toplam 10 otel yöneticisi ile derinlemesine görüşmeler yapılmıştır.
Sonuçlara göre Türkiye’de casinoların kapatılması olumsuz etkiye sahipken, ülkemizin şuan büyük bir casino turizmi potansiyeli bulunmaktadır. Görüşme yapılan katılımcıların, Türkiye’de casino turizmi açısından turistik casinoların yeniden açılması konusunda fikir birliğine sahip olduğu belirlenmiştir. Giriş ve çıkışların yabancı pasaportla yapıldığı ve en yeni sistemlerle takip edilebileceği bir pilot turistik yapay casino kenti oluşturulması önerilmektedir.
