Experience Based Themed Accommodation Facility: Botel
Abstract
Services offered which are ordinary in the tourism sector remain inadequate to
meet the changing demands and needs of tourists expectations. For this reason,
tourism enterprises differentiate to meet the expectations of tourists through
varying experiences. As is the case with services, there are a number of
themed accommodation companies offering different experiences in order to
prevent the ordinaryization of experiences and the number of these businesses
that can respond to the search for such experiences by tourists is increasing
day by day. One of the themed accommodation enterprises offering different
experiences is the botels that provide service on a boat or on board a ship . In
this study, botels that are not available in Turkey but frequently encountered in
riverside cities in Europe, which provide different experiences for tourists by
offering accommodations on a boat or ship fixed on the river side were
discussed. This study, which consists of compilation of literature review in
order to contribute Turkish literature.
