A Research On Evaluation Of Local Tourists Outgoing Package Tours
Öz
Approximately 1.5 million people in Turkey purchase package tours annually. Nevertheless, a limited number of studies have been conducted in the domestic literature, especially on consumers who buy package tours abroad. In this research, domestic tourists who purchased package tours abroad were investigated for their satisfaction with the services (accommodation, catering, transport and guidance services) they had received during the package tours. In addition, it has been examined whether these services differ according to the demographic characteristics of the domestic tourists. The data gathered from 583 customers of a travel agency organizing tours abroad have been examined. Statistical package program was used to analyze the data. According to the results of the analysis, the consumers were satisfied with the guidance services and at least with the food and beverage services, and the results of the package tour did not differ according to the demographic characteristics of the consumers.
