Abstract
Destination image, one of the crucial issues for potential tourists, is considered necessary for successful destination management. In this context, since the internet has an essential place in the information sources, which is one of the elements that make up the destination image, it is aimed to determine the general distribution and content types of the news about the expensiveness on the internet newspapers in the example of Bodrum. Secondary sources were used through the “Google News Search Engine” and content analysis was carried out on the data. The news published in the Google news application between January 1, 2020, and December 31, 2021, in all different internet newspapers containing the words "Bodrum" and "expensive" were evaluated. As a result of the evaluations, it was determined that the news about the expensiveness of Bodrum took place in June the most. Generally, it is seen that the news consists of news headlines and content containing negative statements. However, it has been concluded that the news with a solution suggestion is not frequently included in the news about the expensiveness of Bodrum, and the image of lahmacun is used the most.
