| In the present day, since visitors increasingly prefer to visit more natural areas for the purpose of tourism, determining a tourism strategy is becoming increasingly important for the stakeholders of a destination to achieve sustainable development. Within the Sarıkum Nature Preserve Area, which is a natural attraction formed from the enclosure of an old gulf by coastal dunes, different sensitive ecosystems live together. A lake, a lagoon, sand dunes, sea, and forest can all be found in this rare piece of nature. The research area was declared a nature reserve area in 1987, and a great part of it is also a first-degree protected natural area.In order to determine a tourism strategy for the research area, a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) analysis was performed using a participatory approach. From December 2011 to June 2012, face-to-face interviews were conducted and questionnaires sent via e-mail to all stakeholders, including the Government of Sinop, the Culture and Tourism Directorate of Sinop Province, the Regional Directorate of Nature Protection and National Parks, the Association of Black Sea Tourism and the Cultural Wealth Preserve, representatives of the private sector and local people. The SWOT analysis was then finalised by a group of experts, including researchers. The aim of this paper is to determine a sustainable tourism strategy for ecotourism in the Sarıkum Nature Preserve Area. Furthermore, the results of the analysis form a basis not only for the tourism management plans of the research area, but also for similar nature reserve areas in the world. |
