ABSTRACT

Tourism means all the activities that people participate in for various purposes, such as seeing cultural and historical destinations, trying new food and experiencing new tastes, traveling to new places, and resting (Emekli, 2006). People primarily consider whether it is safe or not when deciding on the trips they will take to rest and see new places. In the decision of tourists to travel for the purposes of resting, having fun, getting to know different cultures, hygiene, health, and safety are among the most important factors that determine the holiday motivation of tourists. In this context, we can state that the tourism sector has a dynamic structure that can be affected very quickly by the negative situations that may occur with the demand dimension.
