A mathematical model for human-to-human transmission of COVID-19: a case study for Turkey’s data

In this study, a mathematical model for simulating the human-to-human transmission of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is presented for Turkey’s data. For this purpose, the total population is classified into eight epidemiological compartments, including the super-spreaders. The local stability and sensitivity analysis in terms of the model parameters are discussed, and the basic reproduction number, R0, is derived. The system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations is solved by using the Galerkin finite element method in the FEniCS environment. Furthermore, to guide the interested reader in reproducing the results and/or performing their own simulations, a sample solver is provided. Numerical simulations show that the proposed model is quite convenient for Turkey’s data when used with appropriate parameters.No sponso

Mathematical modeling of the COVID-19 spread: a case of Turkey

In this presentation, a mathematical model for the human-to-human transmission of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is investigated. For this purpose, the total population is classified into eight epidemiological groups, including the super-spreaders. Besides, a local stability analysis in terms of the basic reproduction number and sensitivity analysis of the model for the introduced parameters are studied. The system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) is solved by using the Galerkin finite element method (GFEM). Numerical simulations show that the proposed model is quite convenient for the case of Turkey when used with appropriate parameters.No sponso

A study of domestic honeymoon tourism in Turkey

Honeymoon tourism is an important research area in tourism and travel literature because of its increasing economic importance for host destinations and their specific niche market characteristics. This study used a survey to investigate demographics, the importance of attributes in destination selection, overall satisfaction, loyalty and souvenir purchase preference amongst 540 domestic honeymoon tourists visiting Antalya, Turkey. It also identified in the context of destination marketing both domestic and international competitors of Antalya as a honeymoon destination. The results offered market-specific knowledge about honeymoon tourism in Turkey, such as the identification of the most important attributes in destination selection, tourists’ souvenir purchases, overall satisfaction and loyalties. The study concludes with a discussion of theoretical and managerial implications of the findings and recommendations for future study.No sponso

The effects of distribution channels on the selling prices of hotels in time of crisis

Distribution channels play significant role for hotels. Direct and indirect selling options of hotel rooms have been increased especially with the help of new technologies, i.e. hotel’s own web sites and online booking sites. Although these options emerged as tools for diversifying the distribution channels, vast number of hotels -mostly resort hotels- is still heavily dependent upon international tour operators when selling their products. On the other hand, hotel sector is so vulnerable against crises. Economic, political or any other crisis can affect hotels very badly and so it is critical to have the right balance of distribution channel to avoid the adverse impacts of a crisis. In this study, it is aimed to search the impacts of a general crisis on the selling prices of hotels which have different weights of distribution channels. The study was done in Turkey where various crises occurred in 2015 and 2016 which had great negative impacts on Turkish tourism and led enormous occupancy rate and selling price reductions. 112 upscale resort hotel in Antalya, which is the most popular tourism destination of Turkey, joined to the research. According to the results, hotels with high dependency to international tour operators are more forced to reduce their room prices in crisis time compared to the ones which use their own web sites more. It was also found that the decline in room prices is limited for hotels which are working with national tour operators and travel agencies in crisis time.No sponso

Impacts of operational management proficiency levels of hotels on operational and marketing related decisions in time of crisis

In this study, it is firstly aimed to develop a Hotel Operation Management Proficiency Scale and then to search if there are any differences between the decisions of hotels related to marketing and operation in time of crisis according to their proficiency levels. Data was collected from hotel managers of 112 hotels in Antalya region and quantitative research method was used to test the hypotheses. Findings show that as the operational management proficiency increases, hotels become more active in marketing, such as searching new market and developing new products in crisis time. Moreover, these hotels are not tending to decrease the quality level of their operations as it is seen in hotels with low level operation management proficiency, such as decreasing service quality, qualification of staff, and diversification of food and beverages.No sponso

Destinasyona yönelik itici ve çekici faktörler: bir literatür incelemesi

Bu çalışmada, itici ve çekici motivasyon faktörlerine yönelik destinasyon bazında gerçekleştirilmiş olan çalışmalarla ilgili literatürün taranması ve en çok bulunan itici-çekici faktörlerin turistlerin milliyetleri ve tercih ettikleri destinasyonlar bazında tespit edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gerçekleştirilen çalışmada motivasyon boyutları ele alınırken; turistlerin milliyetleri ile itici faktörler, destinasyon tercihleri ileçekici faktörler birlikte incelenmiştir. Yapılan literatür taramasının sonuçlarına göre, en çok bulunan itici faktörler; kaçış, rahatlama, yenilik, sosyalleşme, bilgi arayışı, prestij, aile/arkadaş birlikteliği ve ego tatminiyken; en çok bulunan çekici faktörlerin tarihi alanlar, doğal güzellikler, etkinlikler, kültür, güvenlik, hava/ iklim, alışveriş, ekonomiklik vetemizlik olduğu görülmüştür.The purpose of this study is to review the literature on pull and push motivation factors for destinations, and to determine the most common factorsby visitor nationality and preferred destination. During the examination of motivation dimensions;we considered together the tourist nationality with push factors and the destination preferences with pull factors. According to the results of our literature review, we can conclude that the most common push factors are escape, relaxation, novelty, socialization, information seeking, prestige, family/friends togetherness and ego enhancement while the most common pull factors are historical areas, natural beauties, activities, culture, security, weather/climate, shopping, economy and cleanliness.No sponso

Turistlerin kalabalık algısının alışveriş davranışlarına etkisi

Ulusal Turizm Kongresi (20. : 2019 : Eskişehir, Türkiye)Bu çalışma, turistlerin alışveriş deneyimleri esnasında algıladıkları kalabalığın genel alışveriş memnuniyeti ve harcama miktarı üzerindeki etkisinin belirlenmesi amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu amaçla, Antalya’nın Kaleiçi tarihi bölgesinde alışveriş yapmış olan 409 Alman turistin katılımıyla bir anket çalışması gerçekleştirilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, kalabalık algısının ‘mekân’boyutu memnuniyet üzerinde olumsuz;‘insan’boyutu ise olumlu bir etkiye sahiptir. Ayrıca alışveriş harcamasının miktarı üzerinde kalabalık algısının ‘mekân’boyutunun anlamlı bir etkiye sahip olmadığı, ancak ‘insan’ boyutunun olumsuz etki yaptığı görülmüştür.No sponso
