The data were collected througha questionnaire.Thequestionnaire,accordingtothequotasamplingdeterminedbasedon nationality, was applied face-to-face to foreign tourists visiting the Istanbul Sultanahmet District between 1 June and 5 July 2018, and a total of 554 questionnaires were obtained. In the analysis, factor, regression, one sample t-test, and variance analysis were used.
