In this study, success story of the project “Birgi Culture Road” financially supported by Izmir Development Agency (IZKA) and realized by Birgi Municipality has been examined. The scope of this study consists of the need for preparing a project, and also information, experience and recommendations related to preparation and implementation phases. Interview technique in depth with mayor of Birgi was used to obtain data. Information about the project was obtained from the application form submitted to IZKA. It is thought that strong communication and relation set with people living in Birgi Town has played significant role behind the successful outcomes of the project. The experience of the municipality in project preparation is another factor that brings the success. It has been considered that for the development of lodging facilities, grants and incentives in Birgi should be offered by IZKA or any other related institution.
