It is known that, in tourism, there are many differences between well developed Western countries and the others which are going to be progressed. One of these important differences is the poorness of hospitality industry of which I mean that, first of all, neither hotel nor restaurant can be found in many cities, or if exist very few, they extend unqualified and premitive services. A foreign tourist who comes to an Eastern city (including the half part of Anatolia) can not find any hotel, when he can find one or two establishments, they will not even be in his standard. What is the reason? Studies rarely written about this subject, had observed the matter usually by its economical side, considering it financial and as an investment problem. Namely, countries which are planning to be developed do not possess sufficient economical strength in order to establish industry of tourism easily — as can be done by the West in 19th century — together with their cities reconstruction and to found the heavy industry, they seem to be unable also to make investment in the field of tourism. It is strange that, even in these countries, Planning Organizations and Tourism Administrations also observe the subject with the same mentality.
