However, guest house the expected outcomes cannot be reached since it isn't implemented in accordance with a plan or programme. In this context, it was researched whether the guest houses in Amasra serve for tourism adequately and the problems encountered in practice were investigated by exchanging ideas with public and private institutions on this matter. It was concluded that the majority of the guest houses in Amasra weren't used for the purposes of tourism and few of them served the touristic activities in the city. In order for the touristic guest houses in Amasra to serve better for the purposes of tourism, it was recommended that auditions should be increased and the sanctions of the government should be enforced for the ones which violate the related law, guest houses should be classified as other accommodation enterprises, "Guest House Regulation" should be prepared and put into practice by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism to ensure that all the people in the process work in coordination and guest house managers should establish an association.
