Alternatif turizmToplum temelli turizm AAZ turizmi Gönüllü turizm ÖzKitle turizminin çevresel, kültürel ve sosyal yönden meydana getirdiği olumsuz etkileri ortadan kaldırmak, alternatif turizmin ortaya çıkmasında ana neden olarak görülmektedir. Ayrıca kaynakları etkin kullanmak, turizmi dört mevsime yaymak ve bütün yıl turizm gelirlerinden yararlanmak anlamında da alternatif turizm türlerine ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Yeni gelişmekte olan doğa ve kültür temelli birçok alternatif turizm türünde yerel halkın turizm faaliyetlerine dâhil edilmesi, yapılan turizm hareketinde yerel halka, yerel kültüre saygı duyulması ve sürdürülebilirliğin benimsenmesi esastır. Bu çalışmada, doğa ve kültür temelli bazı alternatif turizm türlerinin kavramsal olarak incelenmesi amaçlanmaktadır.

Moreover, alternative tourism types are needed in order to use the resources effectively, spread tourism activities to all four seasons and benefit from tourism incomes throughout the year.
