Abstract
The intense competition experienced in recent years have also affected the tourism sector as well as all other sectors. Turkey, despite the fact that it has extremely sufficient resources in terms of thermal tourism, which is a sub-branch of the health tourism, could not extract the potential in this area in full. Unfortunately, academic studies that may provide Turkey a competitive advantage in this regard is limited. Following observance of this deficiency, a field survey aimed at consumers who prefer thermal tourism has been conducted in order to evaluate brand awareness, brand association, perceived quality and brand loyalty which are the perceptual dimensions of consumer-based brand value that is of great importance for enterprises. In this study, It is tried to be determined whether individual differences of consumers affect the perception of brand values or not.
In this study, a
survey study has been conducted to the customers of a private thermal facility.
Obtained surveys have been analysed with SPSS 20 software. According to the
results of the analyses done, a significant connection between profession of
customers and brand association has been found. However, it has been concluded
that no significant connections between other variables and dimensions of brand
value exist.
