Rural tourism, which is an important type of tourism in protection and sustainability of rural environment, is one of the important
supportive of socio-economic developments. Traditional values of rural areas, the birthplace of the culture to deal with the original rural
spaces, related to the economic aspects of rural tourism destinations provide great benefits. For rural environmental protection and the

The purpose of this study, with the help of SWOT analysis, drawing a conceptual framework about the potential rural tourism of Sinop
province, is to discuss social, cultural and economic benefits with the development of tourism and its facilities.
