TOURISM
  Adana has a great tourism potensial with the thousands of years historical backround, immense works of art that have come from the past up to now, the natural beauty of Yumurtalık Karataş coast, the green plateaus of the Toros Mountains, healing water, the variety of the plant and animal species.

  The Toros Mountains that cover the north and west part of our province have a convenient natural environment for mountain sports, trekking and hunting tourism. With countless plateaus it is too convenient for the plateau tourism development. The lagoons and the places overgrown with rushes which the Seyhan and Ceyhan create provide countless opportunities for the echo tourism.

  As the summers are very hot it has soon become obligatory for the people of the region to spend the summers in the plateaus. In the plateaus there are alternative tourisms like camping,health tourism, river and canoe tourism, cave tourism and hunting tourism.

Adana as every civilization has created a cultural mosaic by transferring its cultural varieties to the following. Hittities, Romans, Arabs, The Beylic Selçuklular, Ramazanoğulları,Ottamans, the tribes Turkoman and nomadic Turkoman contributed to assemble various kinds in the culture of the region. Especiallly with the increasing population in the plain Çukurova in the 19th and 20th century and the important attemps in the agriculture and industrialization produced a great number of changes in the culture of the region. It is very natural to have a rich folklore in Çukurova that was the scene for the life of different civilisations. There is no possiblity to determine which folklore products of the civilisations living in the old ages have come up to now or whose folklore products have become united.The general characteristic of Anatolian folklore is completely seen in the region folklore with some changes.The style of the clothings,wedding feasts,javelin, wrestling and the folk dance performed around the fire which are influential on some of Adana villagers are the values that carry their folkloric features.
