The collected data were analyzed in the SPSS 21 program and T-test and ONE-WAY ANOVA analyzes of variance were conducted to measure how the participants perceived tourism according to their demographic differences and to measure the effects. "Correlation Analysis and Multiple Regression Analysis" were conducted to determine the positive and negative effects of the participants on the socio-cultural, economic, environmental and development level of tourism. Considering the test results, significant differences were found in the perception of tourism effects by university students due to differences in demographic characteristics such as gender, age, education level and income status. It has been seen that the perceived positive contributions in tourism increase the support for tourism development. In this respect, it has been concluded that positive economic, socio-cultural and environmental effects are more decisive than the support given to tourism.
