ÇAY TURİZMİ VE RİZE İLİ POTANSİYELİ

Ülke ekonomilerinde çay, sadece tarımsal bir ürün olmanın ötesinde bir kültür ögesidir. Farklı ülkelerde sunum ritüelleriyle, gelenekleriyle bir sanat ve yiyecek servisinin önemli bir parçası olan çayı, hem üreten hem de tüketen ülkeler ulusal kimliklerinin bir parçası olarak kabul etmişlerdir. Bu özellikleriyle de çay, sürdürülebilir ve doğaya dayalı çevre dostu turizm anlayışı çerçevesinde değerlendirilebilecek ve niş pazara sunulacak bir ürün olabilmektedir. Diğer taraftan Türkiye’nin 2023 Turizm Stratejisi incelendiğinde, turistik ürün çeşitlendirme ve kırsal turizmin geliştirilmesi konularına vurgu yapıldığı görülmektedir. Bu bağlamda da özellikle çayın ekim alanları olan Karadeniz Bölgesi’nin kırsal alanlarında kırsal turizmi tamamlayıcı önemli bir turizm aktörü olarak çay turizmi gelişim gösterebilir. Türkiye’de çay turizminin yenilikçi bir turizm çeşidi olarak uygulanması, Türk çayının ve Türk çay kültürünün dünyada tanıtılmasını sağlamasının yanı sıra ekonomik olarak da çay yetiştirilen bölgelere önemli katma değerler sunacak potansiyele sahiptir. Ayrıca ülkenin somut ve somut olmayan kültürel mirası da sürdürülebilir kılınacaktır. Karadeniz bölgesi özellikle Rize ili Türkiye’de çayın en çok yetiştirildiği ildir ve bölge halkı tarafından “yeşil altın” olarak adlandırılmaktadır. Bu sebeple çalışmada çay turizmi ile ilgili olarak bu ilin potansiyeli üzerinde durulmuş ve yapılan değerlendirmenin sonucunda Rize ilinin çay turizmi için son derece uygun bir il olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
