Çalışma kapsamında bireylerin bu gerçeklik teknolojisini kabul düzeylerine ve teknoloji hakkındaki temel görüş tutumlarına, seyahat tanıtımlarında kullanılma olasılığına ve genel davranışsal niyetlerine bakılmıştır. Türkiye’nin cazibe merkezi Antalya ilinde 260 örneklemli bir anket çalışması yapılmış ve çalışmada, nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden olan yapısal eşitlik modellemesi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma çalışmasının geçerlilik analizi yapıldıktan sonra temel tanımlayıcı istatistik analizleri ve klasik istatiksel analizleri yapılmıştır. Anket çalışmasında yer alan boyutların incelenmesi için yapısal eşitlik modellemesi kurulmuş ve araştırmanın güvenirliliğinin sağlanması için de açıklayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizleri yapılmıştır. Geçerlilik ve güvenilirlik ölçümleri SPSS 28.0 istatistik paket programı ile yapılmış, yapısal eşitlik modellemesinin kurulumunda da LISREL 8.80 istatistik programından yararlanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda elde edilen bulgular doğrultusunda bireylerin sanal gerçeklik teknolojisine ilişkin kullanışlılık ve kullanım kolaylığı deneyimleri arttıkça genel davranışsal niyetlerinin de arttığı gözlemlenmiştir.</p></abstract>

                            <p>In this study, the existence and effects of virtual reality technology, which has been increasing in prevalence in recent years and seen as a complementary factor in both sensory and emotional experience creation and sales contexts, in travel promotions are investigated. Within the scope of the study, individuals&#039; acceptance levels of this reality technology and their basic opinion attitudes about the technology, the possibility of use in travel promotions and general behavioral intentions were examined. A survey study with a sample of 260 was conducted in Antalya, the center of attraction of Turkey, and structural equation modeling, which is one of the quantitative research methods, was used in the study. After the validity analysis of the research study, basic descriptive statistical analyzes and classical statistical analyzes were performed. Structural equation modeling was established to examine the dimensions included in the survey study and explanatory and confirmatory factor analyzes were performed to ensure the reliability of the research. Validity and reliability measurements were made with SPSS 28.0 statistical package program and LISREL 8.80 statistical program was used in the installation of structural equation modeling. In line with the findings obtained as a result of the research, it was observed that as individuals&#039; experiences of usefulness and ease of use of virtual reality technology increased, their general behavioral intentions also increased.</p></trans-abstract>
