Özet:

Abstract Countries use economic policies as a means to achieve their primary goal of economic growth and to bring economic variables such as income distribution and prices to the desired level. Just like in all other areas, these economic policies are also crucial for the tourism industry. In Türkiye, the tourism industry found its place in national development plans alongside the centrally planned approach called the Planned Period, which began in 1963. This study aims to examine the effects of changes in economic policy approaches implemented after the planned period in Türkiye on tourism supply, accommodation supply in particular, where the most significant reflections of these changes in policies can be observed. For this purpose, annual data for the period 1970-2018 are used to analyze the numbers of tourism investment and operation-certified facilities and bed capacities for accommodation establishments, in addition to the total number of facilities and beds. The Bai-Perron (BP) and Carrion-i Silvestre (CiS) multiple structural break unit root tests were conducted and their findings were compared. Multiple structural breaks were identified in all series. Results demonstrate Law No. 2634 on Tourism Incentives and economic crisis periods have created distinctive shocks to tourism supply. The conclusion section presents recommendations regarding the relationship between tourism policies and tourism supply. Structural break dates obtained from the BP test for structural breaks were interpreted for the relevant period’s economic and tourism policies, and recommendations were developed accordingly.
