A group of people are in the process of setting up the Association for the Development of Tourism, Culture, Art and the Environment of the Karaburun Peninsula. The Association believes that the unspoiled nature, culture and the old traditions of the Karaburun Pensinsula are an important treasure which should be used for the development of projects in the field of alternative tourism and thus create an example for the world. 

One of the other means to get Karaburun known throughout the world is the  "Karaburun Guitar Festival" which  so far took place three times, but which has been suspended because of the difficulties in finding sponsors. Nevertheless the organisers are still firmly decided to organise further editions of this International Guitar Festival where world famous guitar players perform and give lesson in the middle of a remarkable natural scenery.
