The globalization of the world economy, increased transportation options, and technological advancements have inevitably led to a rise in tourism, commercial, and professional travel, along with related activities. Tourism generally involves individuals or groups visiting other regions or countries, gaining cultural and social experiences, and sometimes staying temporarily in these areas. This sector includes elements such as tourists, tourist groups, tour guides, travel agencies, and hotels. Tourism law is a branch of law that deals with the relationships among these elements and the disputes arising from these relationships. A significant part of our country’s economic activities comes from the tourism sector. Any social or economic trend creates its own specific rules during its development process, and these rules are expected to address current needs.

The tourism sector, with its various branches, also encompasses many other sectors. Due to the development of transportation facilities and increased travel freedoms worldwide, this sector is growing and holds significant importance at both national and international levels. Our country is a significant player in terms of tourism revenues as one of the major tourist destinations in the world.
