Evaluating the Impact of Cittaslow Movement on Slow Tourism: Samples from Turkey

Summary/Abstract: With the adoption of cittaslow, the slow tourism movement has started. Slow tourism differs from other types of tourism. The slow tourism movement is compatible with sustainable tourism with a locally specific, natureprotecting and environmentally sensitive movement. The branding and increasing recognition of slow cities and the change in tourists' perception of tourism as nature and locality-specific have led to the acceleration of tourism mobility in slow cities. Revealing the tourism activity before and after becoming a cittaslow is an effective factor in evaluating the impact of slow cities on slow tourism. The number of tourists visiting and staying in the facilities in the cities and their temporal changes contribute to the determination of tourism mobility in slow cities. In this study, it is aimed to evaluate the impact of Seferihisar, Gökçeada, Yalvaç and Perşembe districts, which are among the first slow cities of Turkey, on tourism before and after becoming a cittaslow. In this context, in order to determine the impact of cittaslow on tourism, the number of visitors and accommodation in the facilities was obtained from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the data were processed and transformed into tables and graphs.
