The purpose of this paper is to describe the development of international tourism in Turkey and to explain it by shedding light on the behavior of two kinds of actors, namely the central government and tour operators. Turkey has experienced the most rapid growth of international tourism among leading countries in this sphere in the last decade. In this sense, Turkey is a successful country. Those two actors have played decisive roles respectively in Turkey's success in international tourism. By analyzing the behavior of these actors, it is possible to explain the reasons why Turkey could be successful from a particular year in the l980s, and how it could overcome the crisis of international tourism in the l990s. However, there are also serious problems caused by the development of tourism. This paper points out the problems as well.
