Tourism planning in Turkey

In his report handed in to the “First United Nations Tourism and International Traveling Congress”, held in Rome in September 1963, the late Professor Kurt Krapf, well known as one of the pioneers of the tourism doctrine, stressed: “The principle of tourism planning has been recognized and adopted only in recent years. The bottlenecks and problems met in the development of tourism have created the need for planning in tourism. The real goal of tourism planning is to realize, in a coordinated fashion, all the services needed and sought by internal and external tourism”.
