YENİ BİR TURİSTİK ÜRÜN OLARAK DÜĞÜN TURİZMİ: ALANYAZIN İNCELEMESİ

ÖZDüğün turizmi, turizm sektörü için yeni ve alternatif bir üründür. Bazı ülkelerde az da olsa gelişen bu sektör, Türkiye’de henüz yeterli ilgiyi görmemektedir. Bu yetersiz ilgi, turizm yazını için de geçerlidir. Dolayısıyla konuyla ilgili araştırmaların yapılması, hem sektörün gelişimine hem de turizm yazınına katkı sunacaktır. Ancak konuyla ilgili ampirikaraştırmalar yapmadan önce, yapılmış araştırmaların analizinin yapılması önem arz etmektedir. Bu amaçla tasarlanan bu araştırmanın amacı, düğün turizmiyle ilgili yapılmış araştırmaları inceleyerek, konuyla ilgilenen ya da ileride ilgilenecek araştırmacılara ışık tutmaktır. Bu amaca ulaşmak için, Şubat 2015-Haziran 2016 arasında, belirlenen veri tabanlarında yabancı ve yerli yazın sistematik taramaya tabi tutulmuştur. Yapılan incelemeler sonucunda, yabancı yazında 17 araştırmanın yapıldığı, ancak yerli yazında konuyla ilgili herhangi bir araştırmanın yapılmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, düğün turizmine ilişkin yazında birtakım eksiklik tespit edilmiştir. Araştırma, tespit edilen bulgular ışığında, konuyla ilgilenen araştırmacılara birtakım öneriyle son bulmaktadır.ABSTRACTWedding tourism is a new and alternative product for the tourism sector. In some countries, this sector has grown slightly, but it has not yet attracted interest in Turkey. This insufficient interest is also for the tourism literature. Therefore, conducting research on wedding tourism will contribute to the development of the sector and the tourism literature. However, before conducting empirical research on the subject, it is important to conduct an analysis of the research done in this regard. For this reason, the purpose of this research is to guide researchers interested in the subject by examining the researches related to wedding tourism. To achieve this goal, between February 2015 and June 2016, foreign and domestic literature was systematically scanned in specified databases. As a result of the examinations carried out, it was determined that 17 studies were made in foreign literature, but no research related to the subject was done in Turkish literature. As a result, some shortcomings were found in the literature on wedding tourism. In the light of the detected findings, the research concludes with some suggestions for the researchers who are interested in the subject.
