The Effect of Tour Guides' Communication Effectiveness on Tourists' Intercultural Interaction Levels

Öz

The primary aim of this study is to reveal the effect of tour guides' communication effectiveness on tourists' intercultural interaction levels, specifically within the context of incoming tours. In this regard, the study intended to analyze the effects of tour guides' communication effectiveness on intercultural interaction, the dependent variable, using scientific methods. The data collection tool used in the study was designed for both digital use via the Google Forms platform and for physical use. Accordingly, the data collection process was carried out in two formats: face-to-face interviews conducted by the researcher and Google Forms. In line with the research objective, data were collected from 263 participants using a survey. The analysis results revealed that tour guides' communication effectiveness positively influences tourists' intercultural interaction. Detailed analyses further confirmed a positive and significant effect on the sub-dimensions of intercultural interaction: emotional orientation, self-efficacy, and behavioral performance.
