Mobil Pazarlama: Turizmde Artırılmış Gerçeklik Kullanımı

Abstract

Akıllı cihazlarla uygulanan çok sayıda uygulama seyahatle ilgili hizmetlerde genişleyen bir çeşitlilik sunmaktadır. Son on yılda, pazarlamacılar ve reklamcılar müşterileri çekmek için daha yenilikçi uygulamalar geliştirmişlerdir. Bu yeni pazarlama araçlarından biri farkındalığı artıran ve bilgi edinmede yardımcı olan, yeni bir reklam aracı ve pazarlama iletişimi aracı olarak kabul edilen, akıllı teknolojiler ile uygulanan artırılmış gerçeklik (AG) uygulamalarıdır. Artırılmış gerçeklik kullanımına son yıllarda birçok sektörlerde tanıklık edilmektedir. Bu teknolojinin kullanımına imkân sağlayan alanlardan biride turizm sektörüdür. AG çeşitli sektörlerde pazarlamada hayati öneme sahiptir ancak, turizm sektöründe bu uygulamalara yönelik çok az sayıda araştırma ve makale bulunmaktadır. Bu sebeple bu araştırma: 1) Turizm sektöründe AG uygulamalarının potansiyelini tanımlamayı, 2) Oteller, restoranlar, müzeler, ulaşım gibi çeşitli turizm sektörlerinde pazarlamada kullanılan AG uygulamalarını incelemeyi amaçlamıştır

AR is taken into account extremely vital for promoting in several industries; but, within the tourism industry there exist comparatively few researches and articles despite the very fact that tourism may fine benefit from the applications for these practices. Therefore this study aimed to seeks; 1) To identify the potentials of the AR applications within the tourism industry. 2) To identify the AR applications in several tourism businesses at the tourism industry from the attitude of promoting, for instance hotels, restaurants, museums and transportation
