Öz

Otel işletmelerinde sunulan ürünlerin ağırlıklı olarak soyut olmaları, dolayısıyla belirsizliğin azaltılması noktasında teknolojik araçların pazarlama faaliyetlerine dâhil edilmesi birtakım kolaylıklar sağlamaktadır. Bu noktada özellikle sanal gerçeklik ve artırılmış gerçeklik teknolojileri, işletmeler için oldukça etkili çözümler üretmektedir. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın amacı, otel işletmelerinde kullanılan artırılmış gerçeklik ve sanal gerçeklik uygulamalarını incelemektir. Araştırmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden biri olan doküman analizi tekniği kullanılmıştır. Konuya ilişkin alanyazındaki mevcut çalışmalardan ve internet ortamındaki verilerden yararlanılmıştır. Sonuç olarak farklı otel işletmelerinde, artırılmış gerçeklik ve sanal gerçeklik ile ilgili çeşitli uygulamaların kullanıldığı belirlenmiştir. Bu uygulamalar ile otel işletmelerinin hizmet kalitesini artırmayı amaçladıkları sonucuna varılmıştır.
