In the survey 538 cultural tourists filled the complete questionnaire through face to face interview that is held in Sultanahmet district.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı İstanbul’u ziyaret eden kültür turisti tipolojilerinin belirlenmesi ve belirlenen bu tipolojilerin demografik özellikler tercih edilen aktiviteler amaçlar ve seyahat güdüleri açısından incelenmesidir. Sultanahmet Bölgesi’nde yüz yüze görüşme yoluyla gerçekleştirilen anket çalışmasına soruların tamamına cevap veren 538 adet kültür turisti katılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre turist tipolojileri demografik değişkenler aktiviteler amaçlar ve seyahat güdüleri açısından çeşitli farklılıklar göstermektedir. Amaçlı-derin deneyimli kültür turist tipolojisinin diğer turist tipolojilerine göre uluslararası seyahatlerinde eğitim ve kültürle daha fazla ilgili oldukları kişisel gelişime önem verdikleri diğer kültürler hakkında bilgi alma konusunda çok daha istekli oldukları görülmüştür. Aktif ve varlıklı bir kültür turisti özelliği gösteren bu grubun diğer gruplara nazaran daha fazla oranda müze ziyaret ettiği yerel pazarları tercih ettiği ve daha fazla araştırma yapma eğiliminde olduğu görülmektedir. Elde edilen bulgulara göre bu tipolojinin kendi içerisinde de farklılık arz ettiği tespit edilmiş ve bu doğrultuda iki farklı grup halinde değerlendirilebileceği ifade edilmiştir.
