Özet:

The tourism sector is an important tool of employment for countries. It also has significant impacts on the current account balance in reducing unemployment, providing regional development and increase in foreign exchange revenues. The worldwide increase in the exchange rate volatility as a result of the spread of floating exchange rate regimes and the global crises has caused significant effects on the economy. That has led to widespread discussions about the economic effects of the exchange rate volatility. Although the tourism sector is highly effected by the exchange rates, there is a limited number of studies on the effects of the exchange rate volatility in the tourism revenues. In this study, using the method of Multiple linear regression, in the range of 2002: 01-2011: 12, the effects of EURO/TL exchange rate volatility on Turkey's tourism revenue are analyzed.
