However, rural tourism was underdeveloped because of the residents' lack of consciousness, inedaquate budget, lack of entrepreneurs and inefficient promotional activities. It was seen that rural tourism should be considered as a tool for rural development.

Bu çalışmada; Doğu Anadolu'da zengin bir geçmişe ve doğal kaynakları sahip olan Van ili Başkale ilçesinin kırsal turizm potansiyeli belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. SWOT analizi yaılarak güçlü ve zayıf yönler ile sahip olduğu fırsatlar ve olası tehditler ortaya konulmuştur. Çalışmada, kültürel ve tarihi yönlerden nadir güzelliklere sahip olan Başkale'nin, kırsal turizme uygun bir potansiyelinin olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bununla birlikte, kırsal kesimde yaşayan halkın yetersiz bilinç düzeyine sahip olması, bütçe eksikliği, tanıtım ve girişim yetersizliği nedeniyle kırsal turizmin gelişemediği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Kırsal kalkınmanın sağlanmasında kırsal turizmin önemli bir araç olarak dikkate alınması gerektiği görülmektedir.
