“…Policy makers frequently concur with this assessment and work to increase tourism in developing countries (UNWTO 2007). While these projects often succeed in drawing tourists, the literature has provided numerous instances where tourism has failed to promote local development and improve the livelihoods of local communities (Britton 1982;Freitag 1994;Lindberg et al 1996;Khan 1997;Weaver 1998;Walpole and Goodwin 2000;Mbaiwa 2005;Nyaupane et al 2006). This failure appears to be particularly common in peripheral areas of developing countries, which are generally ill-prepared to take advantage of this new revenue stream.…”

“…Turizm bölgeleri için yapılan pazarlama çalışmalarında tek tip ürün üzerine yoğunlaşılması özellikle kitle turizminin gerçekleştiği bölgelerde bölgeyi ziyaret eden turistlerin aynı ürün üzerinde bir daha satın alma yapma isteklerini azaltabilmektedir (Weaver, 1991;Khan, 1997;Altun ve İnceoğlu, 2006). Bu da kitle turizminin yoğun olarak yapıldığı yerlerde destekleyici ürünler ile turistik ürün çeşitlendirilmesine gidilmesi gerekliliğini ortaya çıkarmaktadır.…”

Türkiye'de turizmin en önemli şehirlerinin bulunduğu Akdeniz bölgesinde, turizme hizmet eden yöresel öğelerin dikkate alınarak korunması ve bunun önemli bir unsuru olan mutfak kültürünün konuklara doğru bir şekilde aktarılmasının sağlanması gerekmektedir. Bu amaçla ilk olarak turistik ürün ve turistik ürünü oluşturan unsurlardan bahsedilmiştir. Daha sonra gastronomi turizmi kavramı ve yöresel mutfak unsurlarının önemine değinilmiştir. Akdeniz mutfak kültürü ve bu kültürün çekicilik unsurları anlatıldıktan sonra bölge turizm işletmelerinde Akdeniz mutfak kültürünün kullanılabilmesi için neler yapılması gerektiği konusunda önerilerde bulunulmuştur.

“…Indeed, tourism development has several impacts on the ecological environment: it damages wildlife habitats; introduces exotic dominant species leading to changes in the local flora (Godschalk & Parker, 1975;Odum, 1989;Abernethy, 2001;Oh et al, 2002); damages soil and plants, leading to the gradual disappearance of greenbelts; affects visual landscapes (Odum, 1989;Hof & Lime, 1997;Loannides et al, 2006); leads to the influx of a large number of tourists, creating problems in transportation, food and accommodation, air, water, noise, and garbage processing of tourist attractions; interferes with ecological environment; and creates a burden for conservation (Mathieson & Wall, 1982;May, 1991;Casagrandi & Rinaldi, 2002;Gossling & Hall, 2005;Saarinen, 2006). In terms of economic impacts, the economic benefits of most of the tourist attractions are obtained not by local residents, but by financial groups or immigrants from other places (Khan, 1998;Manning, 2002). Indeed, managers and operators cannot properly provide residents with participation opportunities and give-back initiatives, but instead create a negative social cost, which leads to residents" low cooperation with or rejection of tourism policies (Casagrandi & Rinaldi, 2002;Gossling & Hall, 2005;Saarinen, 2006;Bimonte & Punzo, 2005).…”

An increase in the number of tourists can boost the economic prosperity of tourist attractions; over-development or over-utilization of a tourist attraction will lead to the consumption of tourism resources and reduce recreational quality. This study used relevant studies on ecotourism and recreational carrying capacity and applied the Delphi-fuzzy analytic hierarchy process to identify the critical factors affecting the recreational carrying capacity of the Hualien Qixingtan coastal recreational areas, including 4 primary factors, namely, recreational environment, natural landscape, coastal animals and plants, and cultural assets, and 13 secondary factors, such as public infrastructure. The research results can be provided as reference for relevant government authorities and operators to develop measures taking into account both the resource conservation and recreational management of coastal recreational areas.
