Abstract

Blockchain teknolojisinin turizm sektöründe yaygınlaşması ile hem destinasyonlar ve turizm işletmeleri hem de turistler için maliyet ve zaman tasarrufu sağlamaktadır. Akıllı sözleşmeler ve merkezi olmayan uygulama (DApps) araçları, halen gelişim aşamasında olmasına rağmen, turizm sektöründe gösterdikleri faaliyetlerle hâlihazırda önemli bir etkiye sahiptir. Bu çalışmada akıllı şehirler ve akıllı turizm bağlamında blockchain teknolojisinin temel özelliklerine değinilmesi ve teknolojinin gelecekte turizm sektörünü nasıl geliştireceğinin incelenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Bu amaçla blockchain veri tabanlarında turizm, akıllı turizm ve akıllı şehir ile ilgili uygulama alanları incelenmiştir. Sonuç olarak akıllı turizm ve akıllı şehir uygulama alanlarında blockchain teknolojisinin kullanımının giderek yaygınlaştığını ve gelişime açık olan bu teknolojinin farklı sektörlerle birleşerek kullanımının güçlenebileceğini göstermektedir.

Using Blockchain Technology for Smart City and Smart Tourism

Abstract

With the widespread use of blockchain technology in the tourism industry, it provides cost and time savings for both businesses and tourists. Although still in development, smart contracts and decentralized application (DApps) tools are already having a significant impact on the operations of tourism operations. In this study, it is aimed to touch on the basic features of blockchain technology in the context of smart cities and smart tourism and to examine how technology will develop the tourism sector in the future. For this purpose, the application areas related to tourism, smart tourism and smart city in blockchain databases were examined. As a result, it shows that the use of blockchain technology in smart tourism and smart city application areas is becoming more widespread and the use of this technology, which is open to development, can become stronger by combining with different sectors.
