Abstract
Nature tourism is a type of tourism in which individuals prefer to stay in a rural area to rest in a natural environment, seeing different cultures, and being intertwined with nature, away from the crowds, noise, and air pollution of the cities. The importance of tourism with its different aspects and the fact that it is an activity that is closely related to many economic fields necessitates it to be handled as a policy such as trade, agriculture, and industry. During the Planned Development Period, which has been implemented in Turkey since 1963, many measures have been taken and put into practice regarding the tourism sector. The purpose of this study is to evaluate national tourism policies related to nature tourism by using five-year development plans. In this research, content analysis technique, one of the qualitative analysis methods, was used and the data obtained were analyzed with the MAXQDA analysis program. It has been determined that tourism has been included in all development plans prepared since 1963. In the word cloud chart made for all development plans, it has been understood that words such as rural tourism, sustainability, ecotourism, nature, local, and politics came to the fore.
