Avrupa Destinasyonunda Kültür Turizminin Değerlendirilmesine Yönelik Bir Araştırma

1960’lardan günümüze kadar modernizm ideolojisini post-modernizm ideolojisi takip etmiştir. Bu ideolojinin en önemli sonuçlarından biri kültür ve miras turizmidir. Birleşmiş Milletler Dünya Turizm Örgütü dünya çapındaki uluslararası turist sayısının % 40’nın kültür turisti olduğunu değerlendirmektedir. Buradan yola çıkarak araştırmada dünyada en fazla turist çeken Avrupa kıtası kültür turizmi açısından incelenmiştir. Bununla birlikte, literatür incelendiğinde kültür turizmi ile ilgili veri eksikliği kültür turizmine yönelik talebin ne büyüklükte olduğu konusundaki soruların yanıtsız kalmasına neden olmaktadır. Araştırmada Avrupa kıtasında Birleşmiş Milletler Dünya Turizm Örgütü istatistiklerinde yer alan ülkelerin kültür turisti sayıları örgütün %40 tahminine göre hesaplanmıştır. Analiz sonucunda kültür turizmi açısından Batı Avrupa’da Fransa, Güney Avrupa’da İspanya, Kuzey Avrupa’da İngiltere ve Doğu Avrupa’da Rusya kültür turizmi açısından lider destinasyonlar olarak belirlenmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda elde edilen bulguların kültür turizmi konusunda Avrupa ölçeğinde derinlemesine bir bakış sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.

An Assessment of Culture Tourism in Europe Destination

From the 1960s until today, the ideology of modernism has been followed by the ideology of post-modernism. One of the most important results of this ideology is culture and heritage tourism. The United Nations World Tourism Organization considers that 40% of international tourists worldwide are cultural tourists. The European continent, which attracts the most tourists in the world, was examined regarding cultural tourism. However, when the literature is examined, the lack of data on cultural tourism leads to questions about the size of the demand for cultural tourism. In the study, the number of cultural tourists of the countries included in the statistics of United Nations World Tourism Organization in the European continent was calculated according to 40% prediction of the organization. As a result of the analysis, in terms of cultural tourism, France in Western Europe, Spain in Southern Europe, England in Northern Europe and Russia in Eastern Europe were determined as the leading destinations in terms of cultural tourism. The findings of the research may provide an in-depth look at the European scale in the field of cultural tourism.
