description The study aims to analyze farm tourism, a subtype of rural tourism, according to the Integrated Rural Tourism (IRT) components in the Muğla Province. The research method that was used in the study was the convergent parallel pattern model. In this framework, a total of 85 visitors and volunteer participants were surveyed, and 15 people were engaged in face-to-face interviews, including the farm owner, farm workers, and volunteer participants. Data were analyzed using the 5-point Likert Scale in the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 16.0 program, and interview data were analyzed using the MAXQDA 12 program. The results of the analysis indicate that most visitors expressed negative opinion regarding the “Networks” component of IRT, which includes actors working toward common goals (X̅ =2.01). Visitors also expressed negative opinion regarding the “Complementarity” component based on the continuation of traditional local activities with tourism support (X̅ =2.31). Most of the participants expressed positive opinions regarding other components of IRT, such as “Sustainability” (X̅ =4.63), “Embeddedness” (X̅ =4.49), and “Endogeneity” (X̅ =4.37). Regarding the scale, no overcapacity was observed in any of the farms (X̅ =1.50).
