“…As a touristic region, Adıyaman has a rich potential in terms of tourism types such as cultural tourism, rural tourism, nature-based tourism and faith tourism.Scientific studies and statistical data on Adıyaman show that it has a tourism potential and has a touristic area that is open to development (Sabbağ, 2011;Ukav, 2012;Ukav, 2014;Ukav & Çetinöz, 2015;Arıca & Çorbacı, 2019).Although the region is suitable for tourism development in terms of tourism potential and infrastructure, it cannot get enough share from tourism movements. The common conclusion reached in the studies conducted in this context is on the axis that the touristic potential in Adıyaman cannot be utilized sufficiently (Ukav, 2012;Arıca & Çorbacı, 2019;Arıca & Sabbağ, 2019).Unconscious approach to tourism, unprofessional enterprises, lack of investment, lack of interest, lack of qualified staff, negative relations of stakeholders, lack of organization, infrastructure, transportation and publicity deficiencies are explained as the main causes of development problems (İKA,2014;Trust & Kaygın 2015;Arıca & Çorbacı, 2019). This situation makes it necessary to determine the tourism problems and to determine the solution ways in Adıyaman, where the supply and income of tourists are not at the desired levels, although the supply opportunities are sufficient in terms of tourism.In this context, determining the factors affecting the development in the region and revealing the viewpoint of the tourists to the touristic problems in the region are important for the correct management of the development dynamics.At the same time, it is obvious that the determinations regarding the development problems will be encouraging for the improvement of the satisfaction level of the tourists and revisiting the region.The purpose of the research prepared from this starting point is to determine the factors that affect the development of the tourism sector in Adıyaman.In addition, it is aimed to reveal the effect of factors affecting the development on the satisfaction of tourists and revisiting.It is aimed to present a track for the sectoral stakeholders on the one hand and the researchers on the one hand with the solution suggestions to be presented in the axis of the determinations to be made in this focus.…”
