Abstract
In the first two parts, we showed how, recognizing the limitations of mass tourism, the Turkish government is now actively encouraging the development of alternative forms of tourism in the country. In Part II (introducing alternative tourism), we demonstrated that many such niche forms of tourism have great development potential in Turkey. However, are alternative forms of tourism really more sustainable than mass tourism? The five chapters reunited under Part III (assessing alternative tourism) will try to answer this question. This chapter has aimed at providing the basics for the understanding of two widespread claims in the literature that are debated in the following chapters: alternative tourism as a form of post-Fordism and alternative tourism as sustainable tourism.
