Kruvaziyer Turistlerinin Deneyimleri, Memnuniyetleri ve Davranışsal Niyetleri: İstanbul’da Örnek Bir Çalışma

'Kruvaziyer Turizmi' dünyada hızla gelişen, ziyaret edilen destinasyonlara ekonomik katkı ve imaj açısından destek sağlayan ve genellikle orta-üst gelir grubuna sahip turistlere hitap eden bir turizm çeşididir. Kruvaziyer turizminde başarı fırsatları sağlamak adına, katılımcıların iyi anlaşılması, çözümlenmesi ve çıkan sonuçlara göre ürün ve hizmet sunumunun doğru yapılması gerekmektedir. Bu bağlamda kruvaziyer turistlerinin deneyimlerinin, davranışsal niyetlerinin, memnuniyetlerinin araştırılması önem arz etmektedir. Sözkonusu çalışmanın amacı İstanbul'a gelen kruvaziyer turistlerinin deneyim, memnuniyet ve davranışsal niyetleri arasındaki ilişkiyi ve birbirinden etkilenme durumunu açıklamaktır. Bu nedenle değişkenler arası ilişkiyi inceleyen bir araştırma modeli İstanbul'da gerçekleştirilen bir alan araştırması ile test edilmiştir. Analiz sonuçlarında deneyimin dört alt boyutu (eğitim, kaçış, estetik ve eğlence) olduğu; bazı değişkenler arasında anlamlı ilişki saptanırken, bazılarında ilişki ve etki seviyesinin düşük kaldığı görülmüştür
