VFR TOURISM MOTIVATION: A CASE STUDY OF YOUNG ACADEMICIANS

Öz:
Aile ve Akraba Ziyareti (VFR) turizmi son yıllarda turizm literatürü tarafından büyük ilgi görmektedir. Turizm pazarının büyük bir bölümünü oluşturması nedeniyle, VFR gezginlerinin motivasyonlarım anlamak büyük önem taşımaktadır. VFR gezginlerinin motivasyonlarını birkaç neden belirlemektedir. Gezinin süresi, destinasyonun çekicilikleri, ziyaretlerin sıklığı bu nedenlerden bazılarıdır. Son yıllarda, uluslararası literatürde çokça çalışılan bir konu olmasına rağmen, özellikle Türkiye'de yeni bir konu olduğunu söylemek mümkündür. Bu nedenle bu çalışmanın, yapılacak diğer çalışmalara ışık tutabileceği öngörülmektedir. Akademisyenler gelirleri itibariyle arkadaş ve akraba ziyaretinin önemli bir örneğidir. Bu çalışmada, benzer gelir ve eğitim düzeyine sahip akademisyenlerle görüşülerek, arkadaş veya akraba ziyaretinin motivasyonu ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır. Görüşmeler sonucunda, en çok geleneklerin VFR seyahatlerini etkilediği ortaya çıkmıştır. Türk geleneklerinde tatillerde aile büyüklerini ve diğer akrabaları ziyaret etmek özellikle önemlidir. Bu nedenle kalış süresi birkaç gün sürebilir. Bir diğer önemli faktör ise bütçedir. VFR seyahatleri daha ekonomik olduğu için konaklama işletmelerine alternatif olarak tercih edilmektedir. Katılımcılar, akrabaları yerine arkadaştan ile kalmayı tercih ettiklerini belirtmişlerdir.
