Bilgi ve iletişim teknolojilerindeki gelişmeler, turizm endüstrisini köklü biçimde dönüştürmüş; özellikle seyahat planlama ve deneyim paylaşımı davranışlarını önemli ölçüde etkilemiştir. Sosyal medya platformları, bireylerin kimlik inşası ve ifadesine yönelik ihtiyaçlarını içerik paylaşımı yoluyla karşılamalarına olanak tanımaktadır. Bu paylaşım motivasyonları ise çoğunlukla toplumsal onay ve sosyal beğenilme arzusu gibi güdülerle şekillenmektedir. Bu çalışma, sosyal onay ve sosyal beğenilme isteğinin seyahat deneyimlerinin çevrim içi paylaşımı üzerindeki etkilerini incelemektedir. 408 katılımcıdan elde edilen veriler, her iki faktörün de deneyim paylaşım davranışları üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisi olduğunu ortaya koymuştur (sosyal onay: R² = 0.926; sosyal beğenilme: R² = 0.905). Ayrıca, paylaşım motivasyonlarının cinsiyet, gelir düzeyi, eğitim seviyesi ve kuşaklar arasında farklılık gösterdiği saptanmıştır. Özellikle kadınlar, genç kuşaklar ve daha yüksek gelir ile eğitim düzeyine sahip bireylerin seyahat deneyimlerini paylaşma olasılıkları daha yüksektir. Elde edilen bulgular, çevrim içi benlik sunumu dinamiklerini anlamada ve dijital turizm pazarlama stratejilerinin geliştirilmesinde önemli ipuçları sunmaktadır. Çalışma, bireylerin dijital içerik paylaşımında onay arayışına dayalı davranış biçimlerinin altını çizmektedir.Bu çalışma, sosyal onay ve sosyal beğenilme isteğinin seyahat deneyimlerinin çevrim içi paylaşımı üzerindeki etkilerini incelemektedir. 408 katılımcıdan elde edilen veriler, her iki faktörün de deneyim paylaşım davranışları üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisi olduğunu ortaya koymuştur (sosyal onay: R² = 0.926; sosyal beğenilme: R² = 0.905).

Seeking Validation in Digital Tourism: Social Desirability and Travel Sharing

Information and communication technology (ICT) developments have fundamentally transformed the tourism industry, significantly influencing travel planning and experience-sharing behaviors in particular. Social media platforms enable individuals to meet their needs for identity construction and self-expression through content sharing. These sharing motivations are largely shaped by drivers such as the pursuit of social approval and the desire to be liked. This study examines the effects of social approval and the desire to be liked on the online sharing of travel experiences. Data obtained from 408 participants reveal that both factors have a significant impact on experience-sharing behaviors (social approval: R² = 0.926; desire to be liked: R² = 0.905). In addition, sharing motivations were found to differ across gender, income level, educational attainment, and generations. In particular, women, younger generations, and individuals with higher income and education levels are more likely to share their travel experiences. The findings provide important insights for understanding the dynamics of online self-presentation and for developing digital tourism marketing strategies. The study underscores approval-seeking patterns that shape individuals’ digital content-sharing behaviors.
