Motivations and experiences of tourists visiting Hasankeyf as a last chance tourism destination
(Journal of Ecotourism, 2021) Seyitoğlu, Faruk; Seyitoğlu, Faruk
The present study investigates the motivations and experiences of tourists visiting Hasankeyf–a historic district in the Batman province, situated in the southeast region of Turkey–as a last chance tourism (LCT) destination that has recently been submerged with the entry into operation of Ilısu Dam. A mixed-methods approach is employed for the study, in which quantitative data was collected via a survey filled out by visitors (n = 429) to the Hasankeyf heritage site, while qualitative data was obtained from the online reviews left by visitors (n = 78). The findings reveal that motivations to visit the site relate mostly to the ‘heritage’ and ‘last chance’ dimensions of the site. The study results reveal further that the motivation and the perception of authenticity are key indicators of a memorable tourism experience. Further implications are offered, along with recommendations for future research. © 2021 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
Overtourism: Tourism Management and Solutions
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2021) ÇAKAR, Kadir
In recent years, many tourism destinations have faced the problem known as “overtourism”, including several European destinations that face critical issues in developing solutions to cope with the issues they experience. Cities ensure visitors have a wide variety of facilities to interest them, but this can result in attracting too many tourists (Koens, Postma, & Papp, 2018), resulting in significant pressures and rapid urbanisation. The recent growth of tourism in urban areas has brought about a substantially increased demand for urban tourism (UNWTO, 2018). The overtourism phenomenon is defined by Milano, Cheer, and Novelli (2018) as, “the excessive growth of visitors leading to overcrowding in areas where residents suffer the consequences of temporary and seasonal tourism peaks, which have enforced permanent changes to their lifestyles, access to amenities and well-being”. As a result, a drastic shift has been seen in the perceptions of local people of tourism in many destinations due to mass tourism, which has become a significant problem for local residents who react by protesting in the streets (Goodwin, 2017).
Turistik Bir Destinasyon Olan Mardin’in Yürünebilirlik Açısından İncelenmesi
(Türk Turizm Araştırmaları Dergisi, 2020) ÇAKAR, Kadir; HARMAN, Serhat; AYKOL, Şehmus
Bu çalışmanın amacı Mardin destinasyonunu ziyaret eden turistlerin yürünebilirliğe ilişkin algılarını ölçmektir. Bunun yanı sıra, turistler açısından yürünebilirlik olgusunu etkileyen faktörleri araştırmak çalışmanın bir diğer amacını oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı doğrultusunda 486 ziyaretçiden yüz yüze anket görüşmesi ile elde edilen veri seti t-Testi ve ANOVA uygulanarak analiz edilmiştir. Katılımcıların “trafikten arınmışlık” faktörünü yürünebilirliği etkileyen en önemli faktör olarak değerlendirdikleri ve yürünebilirlik olgusunun turistik destinasyonlarda ziyaretçiler tarafından önemsenen bir husus olduğu desteklenmiştir.
