Culture, which is the most important of social heritages, is at the center of individuals' understanding and making sense of life. The transfer of cultural accumulation to future generations is an extremely vital issue for a society and is included in the cultural policies of states in their political lives. The concept of cultural policy was first discussed at UNESCO meetings towards the end of the 1950s. These discussions have been effective in the production of cultural policies of states. Cultural policies are seen as an important argument for development, progress and growth for countries and are an integral part of the economic and political policies of states. Another powerful instrument of economic and social development for states is tourism. Culture and tourism policies are two important stakeholders that are intertwined with each other. Tourism is a multi-faceted giant industry, which is considered as a service sector, where states have increased their awareness, especially after the second world war, and individuals have gained in economic, cultural, social and political fields. Folk dances, which integrate the intangible cultural heritage with the body, play a special role in transferring cultural accumulation to future generations. It is seen that folk dances have an active place in the cultural and tourism policies produced by the state in various fields such as the formation of cultural awareness, the formation of nationality awareness, as a cultural transfer tool and the promotion of the country in the tourism sector since the establishment of the Republic in Turkey.In this study, the position of Caucasian folk dance performances performed in Turkey in the tourism sector will be analyzed in the light of the tourism policies produced by the single-party period, multi-party period and development plans, which are the turning points of the political history of the Republic of Turkey, with a historical view. Especially touristic cities and coastline geographies such as Istanbul and Antalya, which are visited internationally, created physical spaces for traditional dance performances held under the name of "Turkish Night". In these shows, folk dances of Caucasian origin, where aesthetics, elegance and technique are at the forefront, were used effectively. This study is an example of the basic research type in terms of its purpose. The descriptive survey model was used as a method in the research. In addition, the data obtained by the authors from their field experiences were obtained and evaluated by the participant observation technique. The change and transformation of the Caucasian origin folk dance performances performed in Turkey, which were determined as a result of the collected data, in the tourism sector were tried to be classified with a historical perspective.
