“…Turizm sektörü, bir ülkede ekonomik büyümeyi yönlendiren önemli sektörlerden biri haline gelmektedir. Bu sektörün performansı, dünya çapındaki uluslararası seyahat sayısındaki keskin artışla birlikte artmıştır (Matahir ve Tang, 2017). Turizm sektörü, ülkeye döviz girişini ve vergi gelirini sağlama, istihdam yaratma, konaklama ve ulaşım gibi turizmle ilgili altyapıların sermaye yatırımı üzerindeki olumlu etkisi ile ekonomik büyümenin katalizörü olarak kabul edilmektedir.…”

“…Eğitim turizminin sınırlı büyüklüğü ve etkilerine ilişkin bulgular göz önüne alındığında, eğitim turizminden faydalanmak ve eğitim turizminin faydalarını artırmak isteyen politika yapıcıların, etkili turizm politikaları oluşturmalarına yardımcı olabilecek kapsamlı ve ampirik olarak onaylanmış girdiler sağlamak amacıyla eğitim turizminin ekonomik büyümeye gerçek katkısını belirlemek esastır (Tang, 2020). Bu nedenle alternatif turizm kapsamında eğitim turizmine gereken destek ve önem verilmelidir (Matahir ve Tang, 2017).…”

Bu çalışma ile eğitim amaçlı turizm faaliyetleri çerçevesinde yabancı uyruklu öğrencilerin yükseköğrenim amacı ile ziyaret ettikleri şehre yönelik algılarını ölçerek, bireylerin öğrenim gördükleri şehre yönelik algılarının demografik değişkenlere göre farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığını ve bu algıların destinasyon sadakati üzerindeki etkisini ortaya koymak amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Araştırmanın evrenini, Antalya ilinde bulunan Akdeniz Üniversitesi'nde yükseköğrenim gören yabancı uyruklu öğrenciler oluşturmaktadır. Tesadüfi olmayan örnekleme yöntemlerinden Kolayda Örnekleme Yöntemi ile 200 öğrenciden anket aracılığıyla veriler toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Antalya'ya gelen yabancı uyruklu öğrencilerin şehre yönelik algılarının genel olarak olumlu yönde olduğu; Antalya'nın öğrenciler tarafından güvenli bir şehir, dini ve ırksal açıdan özgür bir şehir, yaşamak için heyecan verici bir yer olarak algılandığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Özgünlük: Türkiye, uluslararası öğrenci hareketliliği konusuna önem vermesine karşın ülke genelinde bu konuda yapılmış kapsamlı bir çalışma bulunmadığı için bu çalışma ile mevcut literatüre katkı sağlanacağı değerlendirilmektedir.

“…For instance, an earlier study by Huang (2008) discovered that international students contributed nearly 28 billion Pounds to the United Kingdom through tuition fees and living expenses. Matahir and Tang (2017) applied Solow's economic growth model as a theoretical framework to determine the impact of international student market segment on Malaysia's economic growth. Their findings revealed that educational tourism has a causal relationship with the economic growth.…”

While previous studies have merely focused on travel destination image (TDI) with respect to influencing international students’ decision-making for academic destinations (i.e. the pre-experience stage), research on TDI relating to students’ on-site educational experiences and future behavioural intentions remain scant. This study introduces the ‘higher edutourism’ concept as a key enabler from the higher education market in attracting international students for the tourism industry. This study attempts to extend the TDI paradigm by empirically examining cognitive, affective and conative TDIs from a multidimensional perspective and its effects on overall perceived value, while also testing the indirect effects of TDIs. A total of 515 questionnaires were analysed using structural equation modelling. The results confirmed that cognitive TDI would positively impact affective TDI, perceived value and subsequently, conative TDI. Theoretical and practical implications for policymakers, higher education administrators and tourism marketers are also discussed.

“…Edu-park or educational park can be considered as a new form of tourist attractions that nowadays becoming one of the society's favorites. This kind of tourist attraction is actually combining the concepts of tourism and education that is well known as educational tourism or edu-tourism (Matahir & Tang, 2017;Novelli & Burns, 2010;Ritchie, Carr, & Cooper, 2003). The concept of education in this edu-tourism context is closely related with the domain of non formal education as noted by Patterson (2017:163), that "Educational tourism lies somewhere in the middle and has been described as non-formal learning".…”

“…The existence of educational park as one part of edu-tourism is believed to have positive value not only in terms of knowledge or specific skill enrichment but also values and cultural attitude development that are important and needed by the society (Greene, Kisida, & Daniel, 2014), or as mentioned by Matthews & Boyns (2001) as the ability to serve as a kind of abstract "hyperspace", "imagistical", and meaningful power. It is for those reasons that "edu-tourism" has been developed in various parts of world, such as Malaysia (Matahir & Tang, 2017;Yekinni & Yusof, 2015;Mura & Tavakoli, 2014), Philipines (Magnaye, 2019), Taiwan (Obrien & Jamnia, 2013. ), China (Bai, Cai, & Zhang, 1999), and many other countries not to mention Indonesia.…”

This article describes the postcolonial aesthetic hegemony which is represented in illustration pictures in one of the educational tourist attractions in Yogyakarta, namely Taman Pintar, along with its causes. This study used a hermeneutic approach, with the main instrument is the researcher himself as a human instrument. Meanwhile, the analysis technique used is descriptive qualitative. The results of the analysis revealed some points. Firstly, the form of postcolonial aesthetic hegemony in illustration pictures of Taman Pintar, is manifested by the use of pictures of the inventors of modern science. All of the inventors came from the West, and none of them came from the East. This has lead to the construction of discourse with Western bias. This phenomenon is a kind of losing the battle in the cultural constellation that is not supposed to be transformed and internalized to young generations that are going to be the next generations of this country in the future. Secondly, this phenomenon of Western hegemony is caused mainly by the existence of the strong burden of Western post-colonialism syndrome faced by this nation, Indonesia.
