 This study aims to analyze the ecotourism routes of Türkiye. Based on the ecotourism routes data, the name of the ecotourism areas, the province where it is located and the activities that can be done are listed. It was determined each ecotourism route in protected areas on the map. It was also determined that the number of visitors in Türkiye increased by 28.318.588, visitor expenditures increased by 21.462.188.850 Turkish Liras and protected area revenues increased by 183.968.542 Turkish Liras between 2018-2023. The main contribution of the present study is its focus on improving the current socio-economic situation for the development of the ecotourism sector in Türkiye.

Educational activities to be carried out within the framework of rational and regular planning to be implemented in these areas will contribute to the creation of public opinion for the protection of existing values, the promotion of the region and the development of the local economy, as well as the recognition of natural values by different groups.

 Bu çalışmada Türkiyenin ekoturizm rotalarının analiz edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Ekoturizm rotaları verilerine dayanarak, ekoturizm alanlarının adı, bulunduğu il ve yapılabilecek aktiviteler listelenmiştir. Korunan alanlardaki her bir ekoturizm rotası harita üzerinde belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca 2018-2023 yılları arasında Türkiyedeki ziyaretçi sayısının 28.318.588, ziyaretçi harcamalarının 21.462.188.850 TL ve korunan alan gelirlerinin 183.968.542 TL arttığı tespit edilmiştir. Bu çalışmanın temel katkısı, Türkiyede ekoturizm sektörünün gelişimi için mevcut sosyo-ekonomik durumun iyileştirilmesine odaklanmasıdır. Bu sayede kentsel alanlarda yaşayan ekoturistlere bir rota katkısı olacağı da düşünülmüştür. Bu alanlarda uygulanacak akılcı ve düzenli planlama çerçevesinde gerçekleştirilecek eğitim faaliyetleri, mevcut değerlerin korunması, bölgenin tanıtımı ve yerel ekonominin geliştirilmesi için kamuoyu oluşturulmasına ve doğal değerlerin farklı gruplar tarafından tanınmasına katkı sağlayacaktır.
