Tourism is one of the most prominent sectors in the world in recent years and is a source of income and employment for many countries. Tourism plays an important role in the development of countries and regions and is also connected to other sectors such as accommodation, transportation, entertainment, food and beverage. In recent years, international tourism has come to the forefront and countries have taken various initiatives to increase their international tourism potential. However, international tourism is highly sensitive to crises. Especially the health crises we have faced in recent years have negatively affected international tourism. International tourism, which has been on the rise since the 1950s, reached its peak in 2019, but experienced a significant decline in 2020 with the pandemic. Our country is also one of the countries with significant tourism potential. However, it has experienced the negative effects of the pandemic like every country. In order to eliminate the effects of the decline in international tourism, domestic tourism has been developed by many countries as a solution. In today's conditions, the probability of facing disasters and pandemics has increased. Therefore, it is necessary to develop future-oriented strategies for crisis situations. In order to do this, it is first necessary to reveal the current situation. Within the scope of this study, tourists coming to our country from abroad in 2019-2023 are evaluated by years based on their countries. The study uses data obtained from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. An evaluation was made based on the number of arrivals to the facilities. While the number of tourists coming to our country from abroad was very high in 2019, it is seen that this number has decreased significantly in our country in 2020 due to the restrictions and bans caused by the pandemic. In 2021, although there was an increase compared to the previous year, the figures of 2019 could not be reached. In 2022 and 2023, there was a significant increase again and the figures exceeded 2019. International tourism has started to rise again in our country.
