Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı İstanbul’u ziyaret eden turistlerin sorumlu turizme ilişkin algılarının incelenmesidir. Veriler, Ocak-2021 ile Şubat-2022 arasında İstanbul’u ziyaret eden yerli ve yabancı turistlerden yüz yüze anket tekniği ile toplanmıştır. Araştırmaya 401 turist dahil edilmiştir. Verilerin analizinde anova ve bağımsız örneklem t testleri kullanılmıştır. Bulgulara göre, öğrenim durumu ve milliyet değişkenleri açısından anlamlı istatistiksel farklılıklar tespit edilmiştir. Bununla birlikte, turizmin tüm paydaşlarına yönelik sorumlu turizm politikalarının geliştirilmesi gerektiği ve özellikle sorumlu turizmin turistler açısından ne anlama geldiğinin farklı çalışmalar ile desteklenmesi gerekliliği ortaya çıkmıştır.
