Summary/Abstract: As to summarize, the major challenges of the spatial planning of tourism destinations in Turkey are: - the complex and complicated character of the planning system that causes fragmentation and might create spatial incoherency and functional inconvenience for the same spatial settings; - the ambiguity of legal frameworks regulating the spatial planning practices that creates a confusion of powers within the domain of spatial planning and eliminates the standardization of planning practices and the establishment of precedents; - the lack of public participation; - the over- and under-use of tourism potentials both of which creates negative externalities for their regions.
