Abstract

Günümüzde insanlar bir turistik ürün satın almaya karar verirken birden çok web platformlarında yer alan çevrimiçi yorumlara bakmaktadır. Aynı zamanda, önceden seyahat süresince deneyimlenmiş davranışlardan gelen geri bildirimlere bakarak turistik ürün satın almak isteyen insanların bu gibi yorumları inceleme oranlarının gün geçtikçe arttığı bilinmektedir. Çevrimiçi yapılan bu tüketici yorumları, birçok insanı sosyal bir ağ üzerinden ortak paylaşım platformlarında buluşturmaktadır. Ayrıca günümüzde turistik ürünü satın aldıktan sonra birçok tüketici seyahatlerini ve deneyimlerini fotoğraf çekerek kayıt altına almaktadır. Kayıt altına alınan bu fotoğrafların ortak paylaşım platformlarına yüklenmesi ve herkes ile paylaşılması sonucunda yeni bir turistik ürün alacak kişiler bu platformlardaki yorumlara bakmaktadırlar. Bu çevrimiçi tüketici yorumları, turistik ürünü alacak kişilerin inceleme yapması sonucunda karar verme ve satın alma davranışlarını etkilemekte ve değiştirmektedir. Bu çalışmada, Tripadvisor.com web sitesi aracılığıyla Uludağ’da bulunan 4 ve 5 yıldızlı konaklama işletmeleri ile ilgili yazılan olumsuz yorumlar belirlenmiş ve incelenen yorumlar içerik analizinden yararlanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmadaki işletmeler hakkında yazılan olumsuz yorumlar doğrultusunda çeşitli kriterler belirlenmiş ve sorunların önlenmesine yönelik öneriler getirilmiştir.

Abstract

Nowadays, people look at online consumer reviews on multiple web platforms when deciding to buy a tourism product. At the same time, it is known that the rate of people who want to buy tourism products by looking at the feedback from the behaviors experienced during the travels is increasing day by day. These online consumer reviews bring many people together on common sharing platforms over a social network. In addition, after buying the touristic product, many consumers record their travels and experiences by taking photos. Sharing the recorded photos with everyone will be beneficial for those who will buy new touristic products. These online consumer reviews influence and change the decision-making and purchasing behavior of tourist buyers as a result of the review. In this case, the negative reviews about the 4 and 5 star hotels in Uludağ were determined through the website of Tripadvisor.com and the investigated reviews were evaluated using the content analysis. In line with the negative comments written about the enterprises in the study, criteria have been determined and suggestions have been made to prevent problems.
