Abstract

It is observed that the desires and expectations of today's tourists differ day by day. These differences lead to the emergence of alternative tourism types instead of mass tourism. In this context, event tourism and religious tourism are two important types of tourism that lead people to travel with different motivations.Event tourism and religious tourism are considered as two of the most important tourism types that have many positive impacts on socio-cultural, economic, environmental and political aspects of destinations and led people to travel since ancient times. Today, destinations continue to attract tourists with special events and religious-based travelsIn tourism literature, it is observed that there are uncertainties in the classification of many tourism types. The aim of this research is to show whether there is a paradox in the classification of Hajj travels in tourism literature or not. In this context, 124 articles which consider Pilgrimage as a tourism type were examined by using bibliometric analysis. According to the analysis data, although Pilgrimage travel is mostly considered as religious tourism in literature, it has been found that a complete consensus on the subject can not be reached and it is a complication in classification.

Özet

Günümüz turistlerinin istek ve beklentilerinde günden güne farklılaşmalar olduğu gözlemlenmektedir. Bu farklılaşmalar, kitle turizminin yerine alternatif turizm türlerinin ortaya çıkmasına neden olmaktadır. Bu kapsamda etkinlik turizmi ve inanç turizmi de farklı motivasyonlarla insanları seyahate yönelten iki önemli turizm türü olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Etkinlik turizmi ve inanç turizmi, destinasyonlara sosyo-kültürel, ekonomik, çevresel ve politik pek çok olumlu etkisi olan ve çok eski tarihlerden beri insanları seyahate yönlendiren en önemli turizm türlerinden ikisi olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Günümüzde de özel etkinlikler ve inanç temelli seyahatler ile destinasyonlar turist çekmeye devam etmektedir.Turizm yazınında pek çok turizm türünün sınıflandırmasında belirsizlikler olduğu gözlemlenmektedir. Bu araştırmanın amacı, turizm yazınında Hac seyahatlerinin sınıflandırılmasında bir paradoksun var olup olmadığının ortaya konmasıdır. Bu kapsamda bibliyometrik analiz ile Haccı bir turizm türü olarak değerlendiren 124 makale incelenmiştir. Analiz verilerine göre Hac seyahatleri alan yazınında çoğunlukla inanç turizmi olarak değerlendirilse de konu ile ilgili tam bir fikir birliğine varılamadığı ve sınıflandırmada bir karmaşa olduğu bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır.
