    Vulnerable Populations With Psychological Disorders in Tourism: Methodological Challenges and Recommended Solutions for Empirical Research
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2023) Zhenga, Danni; Wenb, Jun; Kozak, Metin; Phaud, Ian; Houe, Haifeng; Wang, Wei
    Vulnerable groups, including travel-eligible tourists with medical conditions (e.g., early- and mid-stage dementia), represent an emerging niche market in the tourism industry that has been largely overlooked in the tourism literature. By identifying and addressing the challenges of conducting empirical research for this population, unreliable and misrepresentative data (and resulting imprudent recommendations) can be avoided. Given that tourism-based interventions may provide a new avenue for patient-oriented treatments, rigorous methodological guidelines are needed to advance knowledge in this interdisciplinary area. This paper provides insights into the potential challenges of empirical research involving tourists with psychological disorders. Collecting primary data from target participants requires preparation and deliberate contemplation when identifying and recruiting travel-eligible tourists. Solutions such as clear recruitment criteria, randomized controlled trials, and integrated health research approaches are recommended. Resultant studies on exposure and outcomes can inform tourism management and marketing strategies regarding these populations.

    Past, Present and Future: Trends in Tourism Research
    (Routledge, 2022) Correia, A.; Kozak, Metin
    Tourism academics are organized like a very small community that interacts within this small group so that its scientific advances are not imported by other disciplines, the so-called tribes defined by Tribe [Tribe, J. (2006). The truth about tourism. Annals of Tourism Research, 33(2), 360–381. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.annals.2005.11.001]. The discussion usually ends with the rankings of authors and journals that also contribute to funnelling out knowledge. This research attempts to understand the gaps of tourism research to draw in trends that should be emphasized in and out of tourism community. Based upon a collection of 63,176 papers that is all the papers published in Scopus journals, social network analysis is applied to unveil countries, journals, and authors’ expertise as well as convergence points in academia through the content analysis of keywords, scientific areas, affiliated countries and journals. The findings contribute as a guide for scholars and to the discussion of the gaps of tourism whether it be as a trans- or interdisciplinary approach. The full picture that this paper allows to have about tourism research also represents a critical analysis about its evolution since its very beginning emphasizing its weakness and strengths. The study ends with a few suggestions to raise the interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinary nature of tourism research. © 2021 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

    Araştırma Yöntemleri Bilgisinin Önemi: Turizm Alanına Yönelik Bir Gömülü Teori Çalışması
    (2021) Kozak, Metin; Sop, Serhat Adem
    Turizm akademisinde araştırma yöntemleri bilgisine atfedilen önemin belirlenmesi ve yöntem bilgisinin ortaya çıkaracağı etkilerin tartışılması amacıyla yürütülen bu çalışmada nitel araştırma paradigması uygulanmıştır. Hazırlanan 16 soruluk çevrimiçi soru formu kolayda örnekleme tekniği ile belirlenmiş olan bireyler ile e-posta ve sosyal medya üzerinden özel mesaj gönderilerek paylaşılmış, 39 katılımcıdan ulaşılan veriler gömülü teori yaklaşımıyla analiz edilmiştir. Bu bağlamda; turizm araştırmalarındaki yaygın yöntemsel paradigmada değişimine ihtiyaç duyulduğu, nicel veya nitel yöntemlere odaklanmak yerine problem-yöntem uyumuna dikkat edilmesi gerektiği, nitelikli bir araştırmacı olabilmek için yöntem bilgisinin son derece önemli bulunduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Araştırma yöntemleri bilgisinin doğrudan ve dolaylı etkileri ise “geleneksel yaklaşım” ve “evrensel yaklaşım” olarak adlandırılan iki yaklaşım çerçevesinde yorumlanmıştır. Bu yönüyle mevcut çalışma, turizm araştırmacılarına evrensel yaklaşımı bir vizyon olarak sunmakta ve “araştırma yöntemleri bilgisi neden gereklidir?” sorusunu kapsamlı biçimde yanıtlayarak alan yazındaki önemli bir boşluğu doldurmaktadır.

    Determination of Sustainable Areas for Ecotourism Using GIS-Based AHP
    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Kaya, Sude Nur; Genc, Levent; Kozak, Metin
    The study aims to select locations suitable for ecotourism, which has become an important concept for developing countries because of its significance in biodiversity conservation, the growing awareness of sustainability, and the increasing demand for nature-based experiences. This study determined suitable ecotourism locations using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) within the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) framework in an area with a typical Mediterranean climate. All data used for analysis were open resources. Thirteen criteria were considered to determine suitable areas, while restricted areas were identified based on a literature review and expert opinions. Findings determine that 65.01% of the total areas are unsuitable for ecotourism, 20.28% are moderately suitable, and 14.71% are highly suitable. Areas near forested lands and open water bodies were found to be the most suitable regions, while the distribution of the most favourable places for ecotourism varied by district across the province. The study provides a fundamental framework as a benchmark for ecotourism planning in similar regions and offers valuable information for future sustainable tourism development initiatives.

    IMPACTS OF THE PANDEMIC ON HOSPITALITY OPERATIONS: THE MANAGERIAL PERSPECTIVE
    (Cognizant Communication Corp, 2023) Gunaydin, Yusuf; Kozak, Metin; Cinar, Kevser
    Despite the fact that there has been much research in the field of COVID-19 and its impacts, the existing literature has been extensively dominated by a limited time scale and departments in the hospitality industry. Therefore, this study investigates the potential short-term impacts of a pandemic on hospitality operations, specifically relating to the revision of annual budgets and the provision of regular services and how these operations progressed in 2 years. The study aims to fill the literature gap and convey the mission to guide entrepreneurs and managers from an industrial perspective. Data were collected twice: the first was in the early weeks of 2021while the second corresponds to the early weeks of 2022 through personal interviews with 13 general managers of hospitality businesses operating in Turkey. Findings indicate that the pandemic has substantially changed the proposed annual budgets and hospitality operations. However, such changes have yet to be fully stable later.

    Revisiting destination competitiveness through chaos theory: The butterfly competitiveness model
    (Elsevier, 2021) Altinay, Levent; Kozak, Metin
    The second decade of this century has been characterized by a particular emphasis on the significance of safety and security in human life in general and in tourist decision-making in particular. This study is therefore a timely overview of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on various parts of the travel and tourism industry across the globe. Specifically, this study revisits the subject of destination competitiveness by introducing possible new actors and paradigms through the concepts of chaos theory and the butterfly effect. The study proposes a model, called the butterfly competitiveness model, to capture the edge of chaos of the tourism industry, the butterfly effects of COVID-19, cosmology, bifurcation events and behaviors, and health and safety-driven self-organization for destination competitiveness. It also clarifies the role of governments and health authorities as strange attractors in self-organization.
