Abstract

Turkey is a country with a strong cultural past and variety due to its rich geographical characteristics. Cultural wealth helps to construct a country with a vast variety of products. Differences can be seen between regions in terms of cultural products; and sometimes we see different products in different districts of the same province. This richness and variety of Turkey was taken under protection with the Statutory Decree on the protection of Geographical Signs No. 555 and the Regulation on the Execution of Statutory Decree on the protection of Geographical Signs No. 555, which were effectuated in 1995. Civil cheese and kadayif dolmasi were the two products for which the applications in Erzurum were made within the scope of this decree and they were both approved; whereas Tortum and Oltu districts have made separate applications for Cag Kebab. As a result of this, the application of Oltu Chamber of Industry and Commerce was accepted in 2007 for Cag Kebab and it was registered as Oltu Cag Kebab. Gastronomy tourism has been improving very fast in the world and Cag Kebab has started to become almost the most important gastronomy tourism product in Erzurum today. This study tries to evaluate the importance of Cag Kebab in terms of gastronomy tourism, a SWOT analysis was conducted in order to reveal the positive and negative sides and some suggestions were made in order make it stronger within the tourism activities.
