Sustainable development, Cappadocia, Tourism development, Sustainable development goalsAbstract
The study assesses the tourism sector of the Cappadocia region in the context of sustainable development, moving from traditional growth-oriented paradigms to a holistic sustainability model. The findings show that the region's unique natural and cultural heritage presents both an opportunity and a challenge, requiring strategic action to balance economic growth, environmental protection and social equity. Using a SWOT analysis, the study identifies key strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Recommendations include implementing renewable energy solutions, promoting alternative tourism, and increasing community participation. The study contributes to the literature and practice by providing actionable insights for stakeholders, supporting Cappadocia's transformation into a resilient and globally competitive sustainable tourism destination.
