| Özet |
| Farm tourism, which is generally considered as rural tourism in Turkey, has developed as an alternative approach to mass tourism. Farm tourism is intertwined with ecotourism, agro tourism and rural tourism. The decisive feature from agro and rural tourism, however, is that it provides accommodation in farmhouses and enables the experience of the farm order. In this context, this study was carried out within the scope of Kastamonu Central District and Daday District, which are rich in terms of rural tourism activities. In the study, SWOT analysis was carried out to highlight the strengths and potentials of the farm tourism enterprises in the region and to present suggestions by showing weaknesses and problems. According to the analysis, the geographical features of the area, undisturbed natural environment, existing enterprises and rich local cuisine are the main strengths. On the other hand, lack of adequate promotion and marketing, lack of qualified labor force and weak transportation infrastructure constitute the main weaknesses. The entity of the existing farms and the university in the city and the presence of the tourism faculty are the most important opportunities. Nevertheless, unconscious of locals and the short season with current activities considered threat to farm tourism. |
