Abstract: In Turkey's tourism centre, Antalya, within the framework of country's tourism policies, other than Sun-Sea-Sand trilogy, encouragement of alternative tourism possibilities has been brought to the agenda. Concepts like eco- tourism, upland tourism, congress tourism have been developed, however as country and province, Cultural heritage tourism has remained as a potential which cannot be used efficiently. The purpose of this announcement is to put forward the proposal in order to bring in one of Antalya's rural settlement areas, Elmalý, in the context of Natural and Cultural Heritage wealth. Being established in the proximity of Elmalý Mountain and reflecting the culture of Anatolia, Elmalý is an old settlement place with it's historical houses, narrow streets and old Ottoman markets. The region carries the magnificence of the past to our recent days and it assumes a great tourism potential with its climate, natural beauties and Cedar Forests. Elmalý takes place!
in the rural region and to the question of ''How should Sustainable Planning be?'' in the context of tourism and protection, application of the relevant international codes have been used as the method with the Presentation of Cultural Tourism and Cultural Heritage by making the assessments of powerful and weak sides of the region. The tourism sector which has economic importance all over the world is dependent on natural, historical and cultural resources and at the same time is a means connecting culture, heritage and economy one another. In order to enable sustainable tourism it is necessary to plan the tourism in a conscious way and to handle it in an integrated way with the management of cultural heritage which functions as a resource for tourism. In Elmalý, not having adequate number of touristic facilities such as the ones for accommodation and vacation, inadequate publicity, transportation difficulty from the main tourism centre and not being able to present the !
possessed natural, historical and cultural heritage assets within the
framework of a concept have prevented the development of natural and cultural heritage in terms of tourism. Tourists come here on daily basis and they mostly continue their ways without accommodating here. With a sustainable planning to be prepared, nature, history and cultural protection, regional progress, social development and economy will be influenced positively in the result of publicity of the region, it's application to tourism within the framework of protection, protection of authenticity, formation of a self-sufficient economical cycle, formation of sustainable presentation interpretation and by building up accommodation and social facilities.
