AGRO-TOURISM POTENTIAL IN BILECIK PROVINCE

Abstract

Dünya genelindeolduğu gibi Türkiye'de de turizm sektörü hızlı bir şekilde büyümekte veçeşitlenmektedir. Turizmin kitlesel bir olgu haline gelmesi, tepkisel olarakalternatif turizm türlerinin ortaya çıkmasını da beraberinde getirmiştir.Alternatif turizm türleri içerisinde değerlendirilen agro-turizm, kırsalnüfusun giderek azaldığı gelişmekte olan ülkelerde, kır nüfusunu koruyabilecekönemli bir alternatif olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Kırsal nüfusu hızla azalanBilecik'te, agro-turizm geliştirilebilirse; kırsal kalkınmaya desteksağlayarak, önemli bir istihdam alanı olacak ve yöre halkının ekonomisine büyükkatkılar sağlayacaktır. Bilecik'in, İstanbul, Kocaeli, Bursa, Sakarya veEskişehir gibi büyük şehirlere yakın olması önemli bir avantaj olarakgörünmektedir. Farklı iklim özelliklerinin hakim olduğu, dört farklı coğrafibölgede toprakları bulunan Bilecik'te, tarımsal ürün çeşitliliği de fazladır. Tarımürünlerinin yanı sıra; Kültür ve Turizm Bakanlığı tarafından koruma altınaalınan geleneksel Osmaneli evleri, Söğüt İlçesindeki Ertuğrul Gazi Türbesi,Pazaryeri İlçesinin Kınık Köyü'nde geleneksel çömlek yapımı, agro-turizmbakımından önemli bir potansiyeli barındırmaktadır. Çalışmada Agro-turizm ileilgili yapılması planlanan yatırımlara, karar alma aşamasında yardımcı olmasıamacıyla SWOT analizi yapılmıştır. Agro-turizm faaliyetleri bakımındanbaşlangıç aşamasında olan Bilecik, bu turizm çeşidinin geliştirilmesibakımından elverişli şartlara sahiptir. Agro-turizm alanında faaliyet gösterentek çiftlik olan Zeytinliboğaz bu duruma iyi bir örnektir. Sonuç olarak Bilecik,agro-turizm faaliyetleri açısından; tarım festivalleri, hıdrellez, ErtuğrulGazi'yi Anma ve Söğüt şenlikleri, sahip olduğu tarihi ve kültürel miras,Harmankaya Kanyonu, kendin topla faaliyetleri ve çiftlik aktiviteleribakımından önemli bir potansiyele sahip bulunmaktadır. 

Thetourism sector in Turkey israpidly growing and diversifying as well as in the world. The fact that tourism has become a massivephenomenon has led to emergence of alternative tourism types reactively. Agro-tourism as a type ofalternative tourism is considered as an important alternative that can maintainrural population in developing countries where rural population gets smaller.Bilecik province is not an exception which loses rural population rapidly. Itis thought that if agro-tourism is developed, it will extend support to ruraldevelopment creating a significant area of employment and will make great contribution the incomeof the local people. The location of Bilecik is close to major cities such as Istanbul, Kocaeli,Bursa, Sakarya and Eskişehir seems to be a considerable advantage. The provinceis situated at intersection of four different geographical regions with differentclimatic characteristics, and thus offers a wide variety of agriculturalproduct. Besidesagricultural products; traditional Ottoman houses preserved byMinistry of Culture and Tourism, Ertugrul Ghazi Tomb in Söğüt district, andtraditional pot making in Kınık Village around the district of Pazaryeri bearan important potential of agro-tourism. In the study, SWOT analysis was done to help the investmentplanned for agro-tourism at decision-making phase. Bilecik has favourable conditionsfor development of this particular tourism although it is in the initial stagesof agro-tourism activities. Zeytinliboğaz can stand as a good example of agro-tourism as the only farm. As a result, Bilecik reserves richpotentials of agro-tourism considering the agricultural festivals, Hıdırellez,The Commemorating Ertugrul Ghazi and Söğüt Festivities, its historical andcultural heritage, Harmankaya Canyon, self-picking activities, and farmactivities.
