Summary/Abstract: Tourism is an important economic activity due to its contribution to local development. For this reason, sustainable tourism is an important issue in terms of unemployment and regional development. It is seen that the tourism income obtained in the summer months decreased in the winter months. Removing the problem of seasonality from winter tourism and the idle labor and capacity economy can be earned. This indicates that sustainability in tourism can be achieved through investment in winter tourism and tourism policies to be implemented. In this paper, the change of summer and winter tourism incomes according to the number of tourists was examined by regression analysis. In addition, comparisons have been made between these types of tourism. It is determined that the number of tourists accommodated during the winter season is about twice that of tourism. Within the scope of tourism income, activities that can be done to increase winter tourism income have been proposed.
