Özet

In Turkey's tourism centre, Antalya, within the framework of country's tourism policies, other than Sun-Sea-Sand trilogy, encouragement of alternative tourism possibilities has been brought to the agenda. Concepts like eco- tourism, upland tourism, congress tourism have been developed, however as country and province, Cultural heritage tourism has remained as a potential which cannot be used efficiently. The purpose of this announcement is to put forward the proposal in order to bring in one of Antalya's rural settlement areas, Elmali, in the context of Natural and Cultural Heritage wealth. Being established in the proximity of Elmali Mountain and reflecting the culture of Anatolia, Elmali is an old settlement place with it's historical houses, narrow streets and old Ottoman markets. The region carries the magnificence of the past to our recent days and it assumes a great tourism potential with its climate, natural beauties and Cedar Forests. Elmali takes place in the rural region and to the question of "How should Sustainable Planning be?" in the context of tourism and protection, application of the relevant international codes have been used as the method with the Presentation of Cultural Tourism and Cultural Heritage by making the assessments of powerful and weak sides of the region.
