Abstract

In recent years, farm tourism has not only provided additional income to the local population, but it has also been recognized as a means of freeing rural areas from the idle situation by ensuring that cultural values and features are not recognized, valued or lost. This work with Turkey in line with the data obtained from research examining the potential of farm tourism, a conceptual model for the proposal is aimed at developing farm tourism. Interviews with farm tourism within the scope of authorities of the businesses operating in Turkey in the study trip and attended to in-situ on-farm observations and document investigations conducted to support these results are given on the data obtained. The findings are presented by using descriptive methods. The results of the survey showed that the majority of those who applied farm tourism activities for tourism are people who migrated from rural to rural areas. These people left the city with a longing for natural life and became a role model for the people living in the countryside. Although there are supports for farm tourism, these supports contain more formalities than the rural people can bear. In this context, it is necessary to make the legislation of farm enterprises and farm tourism in our country more simple and practical.
