In terms of tourism development, the prominence of clustering activities as a significant strategical tool is on the rise. This
study aims to explain what a tourism cluster is; how it is processed, how its network system functions and how tourism
clusters are classified. Views about cluster classification are presented according to the success of the tourism cluster and
its labelling criteria. There is also information about certain tourism regions in cluster maps. Overall, this study seeks to
reveal the characteristics of tourism clusters through an analysis of specific tourism clusters. Furthermore, through
analysing significant tourism clusters it aims to form a general framework under which all tourism clusters may be analysed.
