The Turkish government created the Historical National Park at Troy on September 30, 1996.
It contains 136 square kilometres (53 sq mi) to include Troy and its vicinity, centered on Troy.
The purpose of the park is to protect the historical sites and monuments within it, as well as the ecology of the region.
In 1998 the park was accepted as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

In 2015 a Term Development Revision Plan was applied to the park.
Its intent was to develop the park into a major tourist site.
Plans included marketing research to determine the features most of interest to the public, the training of park personnel in tourism management, and the construction of campsites and facilities for those making day trips.
These latter were concentrated in the village of Tevfikiye, which shares Troy Ridge with Troy.

Public access to the ancient site is along the road from the vicinity of the museum in Tevfikiye to the east side of Hisarlik.
Some parking is available.
Typically visitors come by bus, which disembarks its passengers into a large plaza ornamented with flowers and trees and some objects from the excavation.
In its square is a large wooden horse monument, with a ladder and internal chambers for use of the public.
Bordering the square is the gate to the site.
The public passes through turnstiles.
Admission is usually not free.
Within the site, the visitors tour the features on dirt roads or for access to more precipitous features on railed boardwalks.
There are many overlooks with multilingual boards explaining the feature.
Most are outdoors, but a permanent canopy covers the site of an early megaron and wall.
