The most important factor in the rapid development of the tourism sector in recent years is the increase in certified facilities and bed capacities. Especially in recent years, many studies have been carried out towards the development of touristic facilities. About fifteen years ago, while the number of facilities with a tourism operation certificate was slightly over one thousand and 230 had a bed capacity of around one thousand, today the number of facilities with tourism operation certificate reached two. The number of beds in these plants is based on 370. Not only sun and sea accommodation, but today in our country spas, golf facilities, apart hotels, training and application facilities, caravan tourism complexes and similar modern facilities serve our country's tourism.

While the number of tourists visiting our country increases each year, the foreign exchange figures left by these tourists also increase. Tourism revenues grow exponentially every year. In a study conducted by the World Tourism Organization, it was predicted that Turkey would become the fourth country in Europe after France, Spain and Italy in 2020. According to estimates, Turkey's tourism revenues will rise in the years 2020 40 billion dollars. In the 2020 million visitors and it envisages Turkey as a target 60 50 billion dollars.

In fact, tourism has been the most successful sector in our country's efforts to integrate with the world economy. Our country wants to make good use of this potential and get more shares from tourism revenues. For this, tourism policies and foreign policies should be determined and monitored more seriously. However, the unfortunate developments in the south-eastern borders of our country affect tourism activities badly. Bad course should be stopped as soon as possible.

It is also a necessity that tourism enterprises attach importance to national and international standards in achieving competitive advantage and achieving the expected targets. Published by 2003 in International Standards Organization, ISO 18513: 2003 Tourism Services Management System In this respect, it is the only internationally accepted management system standard for enterprises operating in the field of tourism.
