TI  - EXAMINING STUDENTS’ CONSTRAINTS TO PARTICIPATE IN WINTER SPORT  ACTIVITIES IN A WINTER TOURISM DESTINATION
AB  - 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.
