The Role of Information Technologies in Micro Destination Marketing: An Application in 4-5 Star Hotels
Öz
The rapid development of IT (Information Technologies)
in today's world has caused the effects of globalization to
radically change the perceptions in the tourism sector.
From the 80's until today, Turkey has covered a very
important distance in the field of tourism. At this time of
period, the traditional structure of tourism has
undergone a complete change and the necessity of
information technology has been understood and the
sector has redesigned itself in the context of technology.
Turkey as a destination is a tourism country with
different tourism advantages. Factors such as being the
biggest open air museum in the world, being hosted by
many civilizations, being in the Mediterranean climate
zone, geopolitical position, diversity of tourism
investments, diversity of tourism, and educated human
power are the main features that make Turkey attractive
in the sense of destination. As a micro-destination,
Konya has become a destination which is subject to
curiosity of both domestic and foreign tourists, and has
rises in the world day by day about both health tourism
and faith tourism. With an integrative approach,
information technology is crucial for the tourism sector
and issues such as the simplification of the sector in
terms of workload, to what extend it affects the
productivity of tourism enterprises in a positive way; the
transparency of information and how well it manages the
information will be addressed in this study.
