Özet

Kruvaziyer turizm, gemi içinde konaklama, yeme-içme ve düzenlenen çeşitli aktiviteler yanında, liman gezilerini de kapsayan bir turizm çeşididir. Kruvaziyer gemileri ile seyahat eden turistler açısından önemli unsurlardan biri uğradıkları liman destinasyonlardır. Kruvaziyer gemileriyle seyahat eden turistler, seyahatleri sırasında uğradıkları limanları gezmeleriyle beraber destinasyona önemli ekonomik katkılar sağlamaktadır. Bu durum kruvaziyer gemileri ağırlayan ülkelerin destinasyonlarında turist memnuniyetini sağlamak için her geçen gün daha fazla çaba harcamasını gerektirmektedir. Kuşadası, kruvaziyer turizm konusunda Türkiye’de en hızlı gelişme kaydeden ve en fazla kruvaziyer turisti ağırlayan liman destinasyondur. Bu durum göz önünde bulundurulduğunda Kuşadasına gelecek turistlerin sürekliliğinin sağlanması için destinasyonun zayıf ve güçlü yönlerinin tespit edilmesi önemlidir. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, Kuşadası limanına gelen kruvaziyer turistlerin destinasyon memnuniyet düzeylerini arttırmak için turizm paydaşlarının destinasyonda öncelikli olarak hangi iyileştirmeleri yapmaları gerektiğini ortaya koymaktır. Ankette yer alan soruların hazırlanması aşamasında, ulusal ve uluslararası literatürde yer alan konuyla ilgili çalışmalardan, Kuşadası’nda çalışan rehberlerden ve turizm akademisyenlerinden yararlanılmıştır. Veri toplama işlemi 27 Haziran-1 Eylül 2017 tarihleri arasında gerçekleşmiştir. 394 anket analiz edilmiştir. Önem-Performans analizi sonucunda elde edilen bulgulara göre; turizm paydaşlarının üzerinde önemle durması ve iyileştirmesi gereken öncelikli destinasyon özellikleri; deniz, restoran ve barların temizliği, destinasyonun güvenliği ve yerel esnafın turistlere yönelik tutum ve davranışları olarak belirlenmiştir.
