Abstract
Establishing a Seafood Route on the Abana-Inebolu-Cide Coastline and Bringing it to Tourism
Seafood is marketed as a priority product, making it a common promotional strategy both for tourists in coastal destinations and attracting visitors focused on authenticity and gastronomy. In this context, seafood routes can be an essential attraction factor for tourists to get to know the seafood culture in coastal destinations and to eat seafood. This study aims to create a route for seafood in Abana, İnebolu, and Cide districts located on the coastline of Kastamonu province and bring it to tourism. For this purpose, data were collected between 06-09 October 2021 by visiting the mentioned districts and using semi-structured interview technique, one of the qualitative research methods, and field studies. As a result, a three-day tour program has been created, starting from the town of Cide, which includes activities such as visiting businesses, local markets, and historical sites, which are connected to each other and serve seafood for two nights and three days in Inebolu and Abana, respectively.
