EXAMINING STUDENTS’ CONSTRAINTS TO PARTICIPATE IN WINTER SPORT ACTIVITIES IN A WINTER TOURISM DESTINATION
Öz: The main aim of the study is to examine students’ constraints to participate in winter activities in a winter tourism destination. The population of the research consists of tourism students studying in the Tourism Faculty, Erciyes University, Kayseri. Questionnaire technic was used in the study. The data was collected between the dates of December 16 and December 31, 2019 by method of convenience sampling. A total of 213 students were included in the study. As a result, students’ main constraints have been found as expensive skiing clothing and equipment, lack of enough money to spend for winter tourism activities and lack of affordable all inclusive ski tours in the destination. Six factors which explain students’ constraints to participate in winter tourism activities have been found as (a) fear constraints (b) economic constraints (c) anxiety constraints (d) other leisure activities (e) accompany constraints and (f) transportation constraints. These six factors statistically differ (p<0.05) according to students’ gender, year, getting a student loan, level of family income, level of interest in winter sports, family members’ level of interest in winter sports and visit level of Erciyes winter center in 2019 season.
