However, efforts were spent to continuetourism activities in Turkey as in the leading European countries in the direction of present possibilities by means of either the government or the volunteered institutions. Althoughstill thinking about tourism in war years seems a contradiction, considering tourism as animportant item in propaganda and intelligence activities, as well as a significant source ofincome to overcome the financial difficulties after the war has caused tourism to remain in theworld’s agenda and continuation of studies to benefit from this source during the war.World War Two has very closely affected the international relations, political,economical, social and cultural life all around the world, but its influence on the tourism andpropaganda activities in Turkey is not examined seriously until today and this appears as animportant deficit with regards to the history of Republic of Turkey. In this study, the statusof tourism in Turkey in the years of World War Two (1939-1945) is assessed and realizedtourism, publicity and propaganda activities are handled and thus, the positive and negativeeffects which the war created countrywide are put forth in the framework of the concepts inquestion.
