Abstract

E-brochures are important communication tools in today’s tour marketing. E-brochures also can influence choices of tourists through their tour planning phases. The main objective of this study is to determine how e-brochures reflect the Black Sea Region by examining the excursions in this region. The sample of this study is drawn of 46 travel agencies which organize excursions in the Black Sea Region. Content analysis method was applied on data related to 140 tour programs organized by 46 travel agencies. The findings showed that travel insurance which is an important factor for e-brochures was not used sufficiently. Although guides information is a major attraction factor for tourist, it was not used in e-brochures adequately. In addition, the study suggested that natural and cultural values of the Black Sea Region was not reflected enough in e-brochures.

Özet

E-broşürler, günümüzde tur pazarlamasında önemli bir iletişim aracıdır. Bir turistik destinasyonun tercihinde önemli bir etken olan ebroşürler, turist tercihlerini etkileyebilmektedir. Bu araştırmanın amacı, Karadeniz Bölgesine gerçekleştirilen günübirlik turların e-broşür içeriklerini inceleyerek, bu broşürlerin Karadeniz Bölgesini nasıl yansıttığını belirleyebilmektir. Araştırma örneklemini Karadeniz Bölgesine günübirlik tur düzenleyen 46 seyahat acentası oluşturmaktadır. 46 seyahat acentasının düzenlediği toplam 140 tur çalışma sahasını oluşturmaktadır. İncelenen turların öncelikle, kodlama yöntemi ile içerikleri analiz edilmiştir. Gerçekleştirilen kodlama sonucunda 10 boyut oluşmuştur. Daha sonrasında gerçekleştirilen kodlar, SPSS’e girilerek frekans ve yüzde değerleri tablolaştırılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda, seyahat sigortası gibi önemli bir unsurun e-broşürlerde yeterli miktarda kullanılmadığı görülmüş ve rehber bilgisinin turistler üzerinde önemli bir çekicilik unsuru olmasına rağmen incelenen tur e-broşürlerinde fazla yer almadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Ayrıca, Karadeniz Bölgesinin doğal ve kültürel değerlerinin e-broşürlerde oldukça az yansıtıldığı diğer önemli bir sonuçtur.
