Özet

This study examines the effect of perceived economic and socio-cultural impacts of tourism on social inclusion and quality of life among the Romani community in Sarkoy, Turkiye. Based on survey data, the findings indicate that perceived economic impact significantly enhances both social inclusion and quality of life. However, perceived socio-cultural impact shows no significant relationship with social inclusion. The study contributes to tourism and inclusion literature by emphasising how tourism-driven economic opportunities can support minority well-being and social integration.
