Özet

Türkiye 2028 yılında 80 milyon ziyaretçi ağırlayarak dünyada en çok turist çeken üç ülkeden biri olmayı hedeflemektedir. Türkiye’nin turizm hedeflerine ulaşmasına katkı sağlayabilecek bileşenlerden biri de turist rehberliği hizmetidir. Bu bağlamda turist rehberliği hizmetinin kalitesini belirleyen mesleki yeterlilikler rehber istihdam eden işverenler için de kriter niteliğindedir. Ancak işverenlerin rehber seçerken bu yeterliliklerden hangilerini dikkate aldığına ilişkin araştırma bulguları oldukça sınırlıdır. Bu bağlamda farklı işverenlerin rehber yeterlilikleri konusundaki beklentilerinin aynı olduğunu varsayan kategorik yaklaşımlar yerine hizmet sunulan turistlerin ülkelerini göz önüne alan araştırmalara ihtiyaç bulunmaktadır. Araştırma eksikliğinin giderilmesine katkı sağlamayı amaçlayan bu çalışma Amerikalı tur operatörlerinin rehber seçimindeki kriterlerini belirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çünkü Amerika Birleşik Devletleri (ABD) uluslararası turizm hareketliliğinde diğer destinasyonlara en çok turist gönderen ülkelerden biridir ve Türkiye ABD’den daha fazla turistin ülkeyi ziyaret etmesine yönelik projeksiyonlar geliştirmektedir. Bu kapsamda video paylaşım platformu YouTube’da yer alan bir videonun veri kaynağı olabileceği tespit edilmiştir. İlgili videoda her yıl 30 binden fazla Amerikalıyı Avrupa ülkelerine taşıyan ve Türkiye’ye de turlar düzenleyen Amerikalı tur operatörü Rick Steves rehber istihdam ederken esas aldığı kriterleri açıklamaktadır. Araştırmaya veri sağlayan tek kaynağın Rick Steves olması nedeniyle durum deseni benimsenen bu çalışmada elde edilen verilere tematik analiz uygulanmış ve Rick Steves’in rehber istihdam ederken esas aldığı yeterliliklerin Rehberin Kişisel Özellikleri, Rehberin Rolleri ve Grupla İlişkiler olmak üzere üç farklı tema altında toplandığı belirlenmiştir. Sonuçta rehberlerin alanyazında ifade edilen tüm yeterliliklere sahip olmasını beklemenin rasyonel olmadığı; işverenlerin rehber seçim kriterlerini ülke bazında tespit etmenin yeterliliklere ilişkin özgül sonuçlar sunduğu tespit edilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonunda paydaşlar için öneriler sunulmaktadır.

Abstract

Türkiye aims to host 80 million visitors in 2028 and become one of the three most visited countries in the world. Tour guiding services may contribute to achieving Türkiye’s goals in tourism. Tour guides’ competencies affect tourist satisfaction and become criteria for employers. However, there is only limited identification of the competencies that employers take into account when employing tour guides. There is a need for investigation that takes tourists’ countries into account instead of assuming that employers’ expectations are homogeneous. To fill the research gap, this study determines American tour operators’ criteria when employing tour guides. Because The United States of America (USA) is one of the countries that export tourists the most in international tourism mobility. In this context, Turkish tourism agenda develops projections to host more tourists from the USA. Therefore, a YouTube video was selected as the data source in which Rick Steves, an American tour operator exporting more than 30 thousand Americans to European countries and Türkiye each year, identifies his criteria in tour guide employment. According to the findings, the competencies that tour guides should possess for Rick Steves are grouped under three themes: Personal Characteristics of the Guide, Roles of the Guide, and Relations with the Group. The findings also reveal that it is not rational to expect guides to have all the competencies identified in the literature. Thus, investigations on a country basis provide specific results regarding tour guides’ competencies. The study concludes with recommendations for the stakeholders.
