Religious tourism is one of the oldest forms of tourism and represents an important
aspect of the travel and tourism industry. Religious authorities should understand the
tourists' behavior in order to be able to post the tourist card and the meeting attended
by tourists.
The absence of work on tourism for religious purposes and the perceptions of
religious visitors, and taking into consideration the value of religious tourism, this
thesis objects to scan visitors from the three Abrahamic faiths, Jews, Christians and
Muslims, and their impressions in Bethlehem through means of a survey. Bethlehem
was chosen for its unique religious importance and was recognized by the three
Abrahamic religions. In addition to the great historical significance of this religiously
unique city, which combines the three largest religions in the world, it is a meeting
point and a global gathering of religious tourists.
Using a comfort nonprobability sampling method, which is a suitable method when
the opportunities to be able to instrument a haphazard sampling technique accurately
represent the small population (Han, Meng, and Kim, 2017; Song, Lee, Kang, &
Boo, 2012).
One (print) method was used for distributing questionnaires to the study group. Thus,
to meet the target sample of tourists for religious purposes from three faith
denominations also from a number of countries, scientist, along with a paying MBA
student, visited several famous tourist restaurants and hotels in the ancient city of
Bethlehem and invited tourists to engage voluntarily in the Academic Survey on
Religious Tourism in Bethlehem. |

ÖZ:
Din turizmi, turizmin en eski çeşitlerinden sadece biridir. Buna ek olarak, din
turizmi, seyahat ve turizm endüstrisinin önemli bir yönünü temsil eder. Bu yüzden,
dini yetkililer, turist eğilim ve davranışlarını iyi anlamak durumundadırlar. Dini
amaçlı ziyaret gerçekleştiren turistlerin algılarına yönelik literatürde çok az sayıda
araştırma bulunmaktadır. Buna ithafen, çalışma, Beytüllahim de bulunan dini
turizmin değeri göz önünde bulundurularak, toplamda üç İbrani dinden olan
Yahudiler, Hıristiyanlar ve Müslümanlar'dan gelen ziyaretçilerin algıları anket
yöntemi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Beytüllahim, dünyanın en büyük üç dinini
birleştiren ve dini açıdan eşsiz olan tarihsel öneminin yanı sıra, bir buluşma noktası
ve dini amaçlı ziyaret gerçekleştiren turistlerin küresel bir buluşma merkezidir.
Çalışmada, gelişigüzel örnekleme tekniği, küçük popülasyonu doğru bir şekilde
temsil ettiği için kullanılmıştır. Katılımcılara anket dağıtılmış ve, üç inanç
mezhebinden dini amaçlarla hedeflenen turist örneklemini karşılamak için bilim
adamı ve maaşlı bir öğrenci, Beytüllahim antik kentindeki birkaç ünlü turistik
restoran ve otelinde bulunan turistleri gönüllü olmak koşuluyla çalışmaya dahil
etmişlerdir. |
