Abstract

The perception and attitudes of local people towards tourism will depend on how they are affected by tourism or get the benefit. Tourism is a growing and continuing to expand. So there is a curiosity about the effects of tourism on local people and its environment. The main objective of this study is to determine the thoughts of local people in Çamlıhemşin. The cross-sectional scanning method, one of scanning methods of quantitative research methods, was used in this study. The population of the study is the local people who live in the Çamlıhemşin city center. The data collection tool is the survey that was developed by Williams and Lawson (2001) to determine the thoughts of local people about tourism. The collected data shows that local people are contented, but they think that they can not get enough economic benefits from tourism. They expect that the government has to give more support about investment and inspection.
