| Özet |
| For tourists seeking alternative and experiential pursuits, api-tourism offers an immersive experience in nature. This form of tourism has significant effects such as conservation of natural habitats, promotion of biodiversity, and bolstering local economies. This study aims to determine the api-tourism potential of Kastamonu province. Qualitative research employing the interview technique was conducted for this purpose. Accordingly, interviews were conducted with participants engaged in apicultural activities in Kastamonu province. Data obtained using a semi-structured interview form developed by the researchers were subjected to content analysis using qualitative data analysis software. The research revealed that Kastamonu holds potential as a significant api-tourism destination due to year-round apicultural activities, with particular emphasis on the Küre, Doğanyurt, and İnebolu districts. To implement api-tourism effectively, providing education to beekeepers and strengthening infrastructure are necessary. Furthermore, it is crucial to brand bee products and increase api-therapy practices. The participation of local communities should be encouraged through education and financial support. Api-tourism should be integrated with other forms of tourism, and cooperation among public institutions is essential for its success. This study was supported by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK) Scientist Support Programs Department under the 2209-A University Students Research Projects Support Program with the application number 1919B012109094. |
