Abstract

The aim of this study is to define the factors influential in hotel selection for families with children in 5-6 age group, to find out the influence of children among these factors and to contribute to the marketing activities of tourism establishments by setting out the criterion for families with children about the hotels they are going to accommodate. Questionnaire technique was used in order to find out the influential factors for families with children in 5-6 age group for hotel selection. 14 schools in Afyonkarahisar province were taken as a cluster and 50 surveys for each school were handed over to be filled by either the father or mother of the children and from the total 700 questionnaires 514 were found valid to be evaluated. The results were evaluated with Variance Analysis, T-test and Duncan test. According to the results gained from the results of the study, security, the availability of child bed and closets suitable for children, the availability of child menus at restaurants, the importance given to hygiene, the availability of pools for children and the availability of banisters near staircases are important topics for families with children in hotel selection. In literature, while there are many studies about purchase decisions of families with children focusing on 12-16 age group, the influence of children below the age of 12 in this process has not been studied sufficiently. This study carries importance since it aims to define the influential factors for families with children in 5-6 age group on holiday destination selection and their criterion in hotel establishment selection

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, 5-6 yaş grubu çocuk sahibi ailelerin tatil yapacakları oteli seçmelerinde etkili olan faktörleri belirlemek, bu faktörler arasında çocukların etkisini ortaya çıkarmak ve çocuklu ailelerin kalacakları otel ile ilgili aradıkları kriterleri ortaya koyarak turizm işletmelerinin pazarlama faaliyetlerine katkıda bulunmaktır. Araştırmada, 5–6 yaş çocuklu ailelerin otel işletmeleri seçiminde etkili olan faktörlerin belirlenmesine yönelik ailelerin görüşlerinin alınmasında anket tekniğinden yararlanılmıştır. Afyonkarahisar ilindeki 14 okul küme olarak ele alınmış olup her bir okuldaki çocukların ebeveynlerinden (anne veya baba) bir tanesinin doldurması için 50’şer anket olmak üzere toplam 700 anket dağıtılmış, 514 adet anket geçerli bulunarak değerlendirmeye alınmıştır. Sonuçlar Varyans Analizi, t-testi ve Duncan testi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırmada elde edilen sonuçlara göre çocuklu ailelerin otel işletmesi seçiminde güvenlik, odalarda çocuk yatağının ve çocuklara uygun dolapların bulunması, restoranda çocuk menülerinin olması, hijyene önem verilmesi, çocuk havuzunun olması ve merdivenlerde korkuluk bulunması en çok önem verdikleri konulardır. Literatürde, çocukların aile satın alma kararlarındaki etkisi ile ilgili pek çok çalışma özellikle yeni yetişen (12–16 yaş) çocuklar üzerinde yoğunlaşırken, 12 yaşın altındaki çocukların bu süreçteki etkisi yeterince araştırılmamıştır. Bu çalışma 5–6 yaş çocukların tatil yeri seçiminde etkili olan unsurları ve çocuklu ailelerin otel işletmesi seçiminde aradıkları kriterleri belirlemesi bakımından önemsenmektedir.
