Abstract: | The Republic of Iraq is a potential tourist destination. However, the country has
witnessed persistent civil disturbance in the past several decades. High levels of civil
unrest, political instability, and widely reported cases of human rights abuses in the
country and the region at large have created economic uncertainty, especially in the
country’s tourism sector. To this end, this study employs a survey to investigate the
impacts of political and economic stability, legal services, functional local authority,
and accessibility on tourism. Three hundred questionnaires were administered and
collected from conveniently accessed respondents for data analysis. In the study,
empirical evidence for the hypotheses examined was found to be significant, with the
three factors having positive effects on the development of the tourism sector in Iraq.
This investigation also offers policy directives to stakeholders in the tourism sector in
Iraq, especially in the area of offering quality legal services to protect the rights of
tourists from potential human rights abuses and security issues. Furthermore, the study
reveals the critical roles of political and economic stability, functional local authorities,
and accessibility of destinations. ÖZ:
Irak Cumhuriyeti turizm açısından potansiyele sahiptir. Ancak, ülke son yarım
yüzyılda iç savaş ve müdaheleler yaşamıştır. Yüksek oranda politik dengesizlikler ve
insan hakları ihlalleri rapor edilmiş ve bölge büyük bir ekonomik belirsizlik içerisinde
olmuştur. Bu çalışmada politik dengesizlikler ile ekonomik istikrarsızlik, hukuki
hizmetler, yerel otoritenin fonksiyonunun turizm üzerine etkileri incelenmiştir.
Çalışmanın amaçlarına ulaşabilmek için üç yüz anket dağıtılmış ve toplanan veriler
analiz edilmiştir. Bu çalışmada ortaya konan hipotezler incelenip test edilmiş ve üç
faktörün Irak turizm sektörünü olumlu etkilediği yönünde bulgulara rastlanmıştır. Bu
araştırma ayrıca Irak’taki politika uygulayıcıları ile turizm sektörü paydaşlarına,
özellikle hukuki hizmetler yönünde tavsiyeler ortaya çıkarmıştır. Çalışma politik ve
ekonomik istikrarın kritik önemini, yerel yönetimlerin ve destinasyonlara ulaşımın
kritik önemini ortaya çıkarmaktadır. |
