Film Turizmi Bağlamında Cumalıkızık Köyü

Cumalıkızık, a historic village at the heart of Bursa and Cumalıkızık: the Birth of the Ottoman Empire UNESCO World Heritage Site, has emerged as a significant tourist destination, largely due to its cultural and natural appeal amplified by media exposure. The study identifies key factors that attract visitors—such as its historical significance and scenic beauty—as well as challenges, including potential over-tourism or underdeveloped infrastructure. Through qualitative interviews with tourists, locals, and business owners, researchers uncovered 12 distinct factors influencing the village's appeal, with the Turkish TV series Kınalı Kar playing a pivotal role in boosting its popularity. The findings suggest targeted improvements to address weaknesses while leveraging cultural heritage to sustain tourism growth.
