Öz

Destinasyon sadakati, turizm bölgesinde hizmet veren işletmelerin maliyetlerini düşürücü etki ettiğinden pazarlama alanında önemi git gide artan bir kavram haline gelmiştir. Bu çalışmada amaç destinasyon sadakati ve destinasyon sadakati ile yakından ilişkili olan kavramların ziyaretçilerin tarafından algılanmasında demografik özellikleri ve tatil deneyimlerinin etkili olup olmadığını ortaya koymaktır. Bu kapsamda destinasyon sadakati ile yakından ilişkili olan ziyaretçilerin destinasyona yönelik geri çağrışım süreçlerini yakından etkileyen destinasyon bilinirliği, destinasyon sadakatinin tekrar ziyaret etme ve başkalarına tavsiye etme boyutlarını ile ilişkili destinasyon deneyimi ve destinasyon sadakatinin ön koşulu olduğu düşünülen ziyaretçinin destinasyonla kurduğu duygusal bağ olarak kabul gören destinasyon aidiyeti çalışmanın amacı doğrultusunda değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırmanın verileri Fethiye’de tatil yapan 395 ziyaretçiden elde edilmiştir. Çalışma değişkenlerinin ziyaretçilerin demografik özelliklerinden ve tatil deneyimlerinden etkilenip etkilenmediği ise t-testi ve anova fark analizleri ile ortaya koyulmuştur. Araştırma, ziyaretçilerin; cinsiyet, medeni durum, yaş, milliyet ve tatili kiminle geçirdiği değişkenlerinin destinasyon sadakati, bilinirliği, aidiyeti ve deneyimi üzerine algılarında herhangi bir farklılık ortaya koymadığını ancak Fethiye’de daha önce bulunmalarının, Fethiye’yi öncelikli ziyaret edilebilecek bir destinasyon olarak görmelerinin, eğitim durumunun, gelir durumunun, tatil süresinin ve memnuniyet düzeylerinin araştırma değişkenlerini algılamalarında anlamlı farklılık olduğunu göstermektedir.
