Abstract: ABSTRACT: Over the past two decades Turkey has flourished prominently in terms of tourism expansion as well as economic development. The incorporation of economy and tourism have brought Turkey up to be ranked 7th in the world in number of international tourist arrivals by 2012. The aim of this thesis therefore, is to empirically investigate the association of economic conditions, tourism development and the operational performance measures of tourist-related companies in Turkey. This has been done via time series regression analysis and causality tests over a number of selected companies’ related to the tourism industry. The representative measures for economic condition and tourism expansion are GDP and number of international tourist arrivals (TA), respectively. As well the proxy variables for corporate performance include return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE), stock return and the overall financial performance measured by a comprehensive score. The major finding in this study reveals a long-run level (and statistically significant) relationship between economic conditions, tourism expansion and corporate performance of tourism companies. The results offer some constructive implications for Turkish government policy makers as well as owners and directors of major companies in tourism industry. Keywords: Economic growth, Tourism expansion, Co-integration, Causality, Bounds test, Turkey. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ÖZ: Son yirmi yılda Türkiye ekonomik kalkınma ve turizm gelişimi açısından belirgin bir ilerlemeye sahiptir. 2012’de ekonomi ve turizm işbirliği Türkiye’yi uluslararası turist sayısında dünyada 7. sıraya yerleştirmiştir. Bu nedenle bu tezin amacı, Türkiye’de ekonomik koşullar ve turizm genişlemesinin turizm şirketlerinin performans ölçüleri üzerindeki etkisini ampirik olarak incelemektir. Bu analiz turizm sektöründen seçilen belirli sayıda şirketlere uygulanan zaman serisi regresyon analizi ve nedensellik testleri ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ekonomik koşullar ve turizm gelişimi için kullanılan temsili ölçekler sırasıyla gayri safi yurtiçi hasıla ve uluslararası turist sayısıdır. Bunun yanında kurumsal performans için proxy değişkenleri varlık getirisi, özkaynak getirisi, hisse senedi getirisi ve faktör analizine dayanan kapsamlı bir skor ile ölçülen genel finansal performanstır. Bu çalışmadaki temel bulgu, ekonomik koşulların, turizm gelişiminin ve turizm şirketlerinin kurumsal performanslarının uzun dönemli ve statistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki içerisinde olduğudur. Bu çalışmanın sonucu Türk hükümetine ve turizm sektöründeki büyük şirketlerin yönetici ve sahiplerine bazı yapıcı politik uygulamalar önermektedir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Ekonomik Gelişme, Turizm Büyümesi,Bounds test, eş-bütünleşme, nedensellik, Türkiye.
