Özet: Archaeotourism, a relatively new sub-branch, has played significant roles in the recently growing interest in heritage tourism. Critical heritage areas in different parts of the world have become great economic contributors to their host countries, generat-ing job opportunity for many. However, the same thing is not valid for Asia Minor alt-hough it is unique as a huge area to host continual traces of ancient cultures from the Palaeolithic Age. A proper archaeotourism planning and environment management can be the key to cultural, economic and integrational development of the region, contrib-uting to the overall wellbeing of Turkey.
