'Solidarity Tourism' activities, which were carried out under the leadership of the association, ensured the socio-economic empowerment of the villagers, especially women, and initiated the reverse migration process.

The example of the Boğatepe Village shows that in order to establish a successful governance, cooperation and impact model, it is necessary to create a social capital that fully internalizes the social context, needs and opportunities.
