It is possible to say coastal towns where tourism activities are intense are more developed than inland areas. According to the State Planning Organization’s Socioeconomic Develoment Index Ranking Research based on 2004 socioeconomic data of 872 districts, Marmaris is in the 22nd as the most developed and Kavaklıdere is in the 374th being the least developed district in Muğla Province. From 2004 on, it can be easily estimated that touristic towns with increasing attraction have gone higher in ranking.
