Crises are broadly thought to damage the tourism industry by decreasing tourism revenues due to reduced inbound tourism. This study investigated the negative short-term effects of crises on the crisis management practices of tourism enterprises in Turkey following terrorist attacks between 2015 and 2016, political tensions with the Russian Federation after a military aircraft was shot down in 2015, and the attempted coup in 2016. 219 valid questionnaires were obtained from representatives and managers of hotels, travel companies, airlines, and other tourism enterprises at the 10th Tourism Fair and Congress, Travel Turkey. The findings reveal that the three distinct but interrelated crises all significantly affected tourism enterprises in the short-term. These effects did not differ regarding type of enterprise or years of operation. The stressful working environment and increased costs mostly affected maintenance, human resources, government assistance, promotion, and product and pricing strategies.
Bu araştırmanın amacı, yeşil yıldız belgeli konaklama işletmelerinin çevreye duyarlılığını web siteleri üzerinden inceleyerek bu uygulamalardan hangilerine daha fazla vurgu yaptıklarını belirlemektir. Yeşil yıldız belgeli 309 konaklama işletmesi araştırmanın evrenini oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada Kültür ve Turizm Bakanlığı'nın belirlediği çevreye duyarlılık kriterleri temel alınmıştır. Veri toplama yöntemi olarak doküman incelemesi kullanılırken, verilerin analizinde içerik analizi ve betimsel analiz tekniği kullanılmıştır. İçerik analizi sonucunda yedi temel ve 12 alt kategori elde edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, konaklama işletmelerinin büyük çoğunluğunun yeşil yıldız belgesi ve çevre yönetimi ile ilgili uygulamaları hakkında bilgi vermediği ortaya çıkmıştır. Yeşil yıldızlı konaklama işletmeleri web sitelerinde en çok çevreyle ilgili sahip oldukları ödül ve sertifikalara yer vermektedir. Çevre politikası, atıkların değerlendirilmesi, personel ve misafir eğitimi ile enerji tasarrufu en fazla üzerinde durulan diğer konular arasındadır.
Although tourism is an industry-driven discipline, its philosophical roots are inseparable in education. The nature of tourism, expectations of each stakeholderindustry, tourists, academia, students, educators, societyand managerial attitudes of universities in general and tourism schools in particular, make it controversial to design a flawless education system for the interest of all parties.

Considering the coronavirus risk, the purpose of the study is to reveal the group differences in travel risk perception, travel behaviour and behavioural intention in terms of the tourists’ sociodemographic characteristics – gender, age and past travel experience. A convenience sampling was used and members of the eligible travel groups on social media platforms were invited to respond to an online survey. A total of 160 responses were obtained from Turkey in January 2021. Exploratory factor analysis, independent samples t-tests and cross-tabulation analysis were performed to analyse the data. This study determined the differences in the risk perception of coronavirus, travel behaviour and travel intention of tourists in terms of gender and age of tourists. Although it is known that the higher the experience, the lower the risk perception, the study showed no differences associated with the past travel experience. This supposes that all tourists, regardless of their past experience, perceived the coronavirus risk in the same way as its influence has been tremendous globally. Consequently, tourism professionals should attract target markets at the appropriate time with compatible strategies regarding the sociodemographic factors.
