Book Part Citation - Scopus: 1Developing Sustainable Policies in Response To Overtourism(IGI Global, 2020) Çakar, K.This chapter deals with and underscores sustainable policy responses towards overtourism, which is becoming an increasingly important issue for the survival of tourist destinations. Based on the current literature, this chapter proposes a wide range of policy responses that can be adapted by a variety of elements in tourist destinations, ranging from stakeholders to local residents. As a consequence, the measures and strategies in response to the overtourism phenomenon can expand our understanding of the concept. © 2020 by IGI Global.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 1Education as a Way To Tackle Overtourism: the Application of the Principles of Responsible Management Education (prme)(Palgrave Macmillan, 2020) Çakar, K.The aim of this chapter is to discuss whether the Principles of Responsible Management Education (PRME) can potentially be an integral part of strategies addressing the issue of overtourism. The chapter demonstrates that the PRME can be used as a supporting tool as its principles potentially constitute and underscore the significance of a responsible and sustainable world. As such, they can play a crucial role in drawing the attention of higher education institutions and industry practitioners towards achieving the SDGs, while dealing with the issue of overtourism through education. The chapter also shows that as the measures and targets of the PRME are also in alignment with the SDGs, they can be considered as a highly effective tool in helping overcome the problem of overtourism. © The Author(s) 2020.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Visitors' experiences of UNESCO World Heritage Site: evidence from Göbeklitepe, Türkiye(Emerald Publishing, 2023) Nguyen, Thi Hong Hai; Ağbay, Nurullah Cihan; Çakar, KadirPurpose: This study seeks to investigate and discuss the heritage experiences of both domestic and international visitors at Göbeklitepe UNESCO World Heritage Site in Türkiye. Design/methodology/approach: A qualitative research approach was adopted in the current study. TripAdvisor's comments and reviews of both domestic (n = 519) and international (n = 186) visitors regarding their visits to Göbeklitepe were collected. The data were then subjected to content analysis by MAXQDA as qualitative data analysis software. Additionally, an abductive research approach, which consisted of three stages, was implemented for data analysis. Findings: The three aspects of visitor experiences at Göbeklitepe, including cognitive, emotional and relational experiences were found and discussed. Additionally, commonalities and differences among domestic and international visitors in terms of the heritage experience they gained from their visit to Göbeklitepe were revealed and analyzed. Practical implications: Based on the findings regarding the main aspects of heritage experiences at Göbeklitepe, including cognitive, emotional and relational experiences, site managers and destination marketers can create effective marketing strategies that focus on those characteristics to attract visitors to the site. Moreover, the study can guide destination marketers to develop targeted marketing campaigns that highlight the different historical and religious significance of the site for both groups of domestic and international visitors. Originality/value: First, the study affirms that Göbeklitepe is an important and impressive cultural heritage site due to its historical significance to both domestic and international visitors. It also strengthens the multifaceted nature of heritage experiences. Especially, the evidence of relational heritage experiences, including the connectedness to heritage and the sense of belonging to the visitor community, enriches the literature of heritage experience in this regard.Master Thesis Paylaşım ekonomisi içerisinde Airbnb'yi tercih eden turistlerin motivasyon ve deneyimi: Mardin örneği(Mardin Artuklu Üniversitesi, 2023) Aksoy, Süleyman Haluk; Çakar, KadirGelişen bilgi teknolojileri ışığında, Airbnb turistler için birçok avantajlar sunmakta ve uluslararası düzeyde yaygın bir kullanım ağına sahip olduğu gözlenmektedir.

The objectives of this study were twofold: to explore the eVisa experience of tourists who have previously visited Turkey by using the service and to analyse the perceptions of stakeholders who have contributed to eVisa. Design/methodology/approach The present research has utilised two methodologies within the context of qualitative research methods. Data were gathered from tourists by using reviews (n = 1690) and in-depth interviews key actors (n = 4), which represent consumers and contributors' perspectives on the eVisa system, respectively. While consumers dictate the demand of the service, contributors control its supply. The contributors referenced herein are relevant eVisa stakeholders in Antalya. Findings The research findings revealed eVisa facilitation's positive effects on a destination's image and tourists' intentions to revisit destinations compared to when they use traditional visa-obtaining processes. The research findings then present suitable data for destination managers and policymakers regarding eVisa facilitation, followed by this study's conclusions and implications. Research limitations/implications eVisa facilitation can foster demand for travel and tourism while maintaining bureaucratic elements of the traditional visa procedure. From a psychological perspective, eVisa facilitation can positively affect travel motivation to certain destinations where eVisas are applicable, as well as positively influence intentions to revisit tourist destinations. Originality/value The originality and uniqueness of the present study lies in its contribution to the increasing recognition of the significance and positive impacts of eVisa facilitation on travel and tourism demand.Article Citation - WoS: 24Citation - Scopus: 36Experiences of visitors to Gallipoli, a nostalgia-themed dark tourism destination: an insight from TripAdvisor(EMERALD GROUP PUBLISHING LTD, 2018) Cakar, Kadir;Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine and understand the experiences of travelers to Gallipoli, by analyzing their online comments and reviews. Design/methodology/approach - The data were garnered from the well-known online user blog TripAdvisor. Data, concerning visiting the Gallipoli Peninsula, were retrieved from (n = 330) travelers' reviews and comments, and were examined using content analysis to elicit and identify their experiences. Findings - Overall, the travelers' reviews and comments mostly conveyed emotional and nostalgic experiences. Further, the travelers' nostalgic experiences of Gallipoli emerged as historical nostalgia deriving from the personal attachment of travelers to the site. Research limitations/implications - The data have shown that the experiences of travelers to Gallipoli can mostly be identified as emotional, which are generally consistent with the current literature. This paper utilized traveler reviews and comments on TripAdvisor, left by tourists who had previously visited Gallipoli, and this represents the limitation of the present study. Thus, to better understand the experiences of travelers visiting Gallipoli, with regard to their psychological aspect, future research should be conducted with travelers either through face-to-face interviews or via a survey. Originality/value - Despite its significance for dark tourists, limited research has been carried out that deals with the experiences of travelers visiting the Gallipoli battlefield. As such, this is the first research project designed to highlight the experience of dark tourism, under the concept of nostalgic tourism, by providing valuable data and a deeper understanding of the field.Article Citation - Scopus: 13Motivation, perceived authenticity and satisfaction of tourists visiting the monastery of Mor Hananyo-Mardin, Turkey(Emerald, 2022) Seyitoğlu, Faruk; Çakar, Kadir; Davras, ÖzgürPurpose – This study aims to investigate the relationship between the dimensions of motivation, perceived authenticity and satisfaction of tourists visiting the Mor Hananyo Monastery as a heritage site. Design/methodology/approach – The quantitative research method was implemented to test the proposed structural model. Accordingly, a self-administered questionnaire was applied to 341 tourists visiting the monastery of Mor Hananyo between April and May 2019. First, confirmatory factor analysis was performed to ensure the scales’ construct validity; then, the covariance-based structural equation model was established to test the research hypothesis with the help of path analysis. Findings – The results showed that all motivation dimensions influence the objective authenticity perception of tourists. Heritage and ancestral motivations influence the constructive authenticity perception of tourists. However, the effect of educational motivation on the same variable was insignificant. Furthermore, only heritage motivation affects the existential authenticity perception of tourists. Originality/value – The results of this study demonstrate that tourist satisfaction has causal relationships with travel motivations and authenticity perceptions. Additionally, although tourist satisfaction has been accepted as an essential and extensively discussed subject in the tourism literature, this study is the first to examine the structural relationships of travel motivations (ancestral, heritage and educational motivations), authenticity perceptions (objective, constructive and existential authenticity) and tourist satisfaction in the monastery context.annotation.listelement.badge Citation - Scopus: 1The downfall of Uber in Turkey: a case study on tourism in Istanbul, Turkey(Anatolia, 2021) Çakar, Kadir[No abstract available]Presentation Gastronomi Turizmi Strateji ve Eylem Planı: Nitel Bir Yaklaşım(Gastronomi Kongresi Ankara 2018, 2018) YARIŞ, Ahmet; ÇAKAR, Kadir; AYKOL, ŞehmusKitle turizmi destinasyonlarının rekabetçi stratejilerini konumlandırdıkları bir turizm türü haline gelen Gastronomi Turizmine ilgi artmaktadır. Gastronomi Turizmi özelde turistik destinasyonlara ve genelde de ülke ekonomilerine sağlamış olduğu katkılardan dolayı destinasyon yönetim örgütleri ve destinasyon yöneticileri tarafından kalkınma planlarında yer almaktadır. Bu çalışma ilgili alan yazında daha önce çok az vurgulanan bir tema olan Gastronomi Strateji ve Eylem Planı konusunu ele almayı amaçlamıştır. Çalışmada nitel veri analizi yöntemi kullanılmış olup verilerin analizi için içerik analizinden faydalanılmıştır.

Department of Tourism Management / Turizm İşletmeciliği Bölümü; 11. Faculty of Tourism / Turizm Fakültesi; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu ÜniversitesiThe present study strives to understand the travel motivations and experiences of both domestic and international travellers visiting the Gallipoli Peninsula. Qualitative research methodology was utilized for this study, with a case study approach employed for the qualitative research design. Data were gathered using face-to-face interviews (n=44), participant observation and document analysis, and an inductive content analysis was then used to analyse the data. The research findings revealed that travellers visiting the site have different motivations and experiences, as well as some commonalities. The findings also indicate that those visiting the site have different travel motivations and experiences, as well as commonalities. Their travel motivations form a heterogeneous pattern, including push and pull motivational factors, while experiences can be grouped into psychological and sociocultural categories; these are useful contributions to the existing literature in the field. As a consequence, the results of this study are unique as they show that battlefield sites within the scope of the dark tourism phenomenon may offer visitors memorable tourism experiences and socio-cultural experiences.
