In addition, tourism policies of Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism in themountain tourism area are scrutinized. Not only the tourism policies of the government are enough to promote a newalternative tourism type, but also the role and effects of tourism middlemen such as travel agencies, tour operators, andtour wholesalers cannot be denied in the promotion of a destination. Mountain tourism can be accepted and classifi edas one of these mentioned alternative and newly developed types of tourism in many destinations.
