Abstract

Cittaslow (slow city) can be expressed as a social action and organization that conveys cultural values at the local level and encourages slowness in life style. Cittaslow destinations aim to preserve their unique qualities and improve residents’ and visitors’  quality of life of by encouraging interactions between people, places and resources. Thanks to this type of advocacy, participating destinations are attracting increased attention. This movement parallels with the growing interest in destination attachment in tourism research. Güdül district, which is the first Cittaslow of Ankara and the Central Anatolia Region was chosen as the research area. The aim of the study is to examine the tourism potential of Güdül district in the context of Cittaslow. For this purpose, the tourism potential of a certified destination was evaluated from the perspectives of service actors (public, NGOs, private enterprises). One of the qualitative data collection techniques, the interview technique,  was used as the data collection tool in the this study. The findings reveal various dimensions such as community environment and administration service, cultural resources and values, and natural resources and conservation. In the current study, it is proposed to integrate natural, cultural and local components in better planning and management of Güdül as a slow tourism destination.
