Kültürel Turizmin Ekonomik, Sosyal ve Çevresel Etkilerine Yönelik Bir Araştırma: Safranbolu Örneği / A Research on Economic, Social and Environmental Impacts of Cultural Tourism: Safranbolu Example

Cultural tourism in Safranbolu, Turkey, significantly boosts local economy and heritage preservation but also drives up living costs. A 2018 study involving 424 senior students from Karabük University revealed that while cultural tourism creates new business opportunities, generates additional income, and promotes cultural exchange, it concurrently increases land and housing prices, contributing to affordability challenges. Participants identified key obstacles including inadequate advertising, poor infrastructure, transportation difficulties, and insufficient tourism education. To enhance cultural tourism supply, the study recommends intensified and diversified promotional efforts, improved transportation and accommodation conditions, and greater awareness among locals about tourism activities.
