Abstract

The potential to use underwater archeoparks created within the scope of experimental archeology for diving tourism is evaluated in this study. In this compilation study, the underwater diving tourism potential of Uluburun Shipwreck in Kaş region of Turkey was investigated in the context of experimental archeology and underwater archeopark. It is observed that the Uluburun III shipwreck is one of the most popular diving sites in Kaş region and contributes to the region culturally and economically. However, it has been determined that diving demands for this the site are not sufficient considering the number of tourists visiting the region. It is foreseen that the demand will increase with the marketing activities focusing on the diver’s niche markets.
