Özet:

 This study aims to determine the impact of the aircraft crisis with Russia and the Covid-19 pandemic on foreign tourism in Alanya, a district of Antalya Province of Türkiye over the past decade and to provide recommendations for potential similar crises in the future. The arrival of foreign tourists to Alanya is mainly by air transportation, and any interruption in air transportation causes disruption of all activities within the scope of foreign tourism. Alanya has experienced significant losses in foreign tourism in past decade, especially as a result of the aircraft crisis between Türkiye and Russia in 2015, when Russia did not allow tourist flights to Türkiye and air transportation almost came to a halt within the scope of the Covid-19 pandemic between 2019-2021. This study aims to determine the impact of the air crisis with Russia and the Covid-19 pandemic on foreign tourism in Alanya over the past decade and to provide recommendations for potential similar crises in the future. To achieve this goal, official tourism and air transport statistics between 2011-2022 were examined, and historical data analysis was conducted. The study provides information about Alanyas geographical location, population, and the inception of tourism activities while presenting and evaluating detailed tourism and air transport statistics for Alanya over the past 10 years. Accordingly, this study, utilizes a systematic approach, sourcing data from official reports and databases, with a primary focus on data from the Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Culture and Tourism, supplemented by other sources like the World Tourism Organization UNWTO, the Turkish State Airports Authority DHMİ and the Alanya Chamber of Commerce and Industry ALTSO. Descriptive statistics unveil key data patterns, while qualitative data from academic literature, government reports and news sources provide insights into Alanyas responses to political crises. Accordingly, this study reveals a comprehensive understanding of how crises affect Alanyas air transport and tourism and offers suggestions for dealing with similar crises that are likely to occur in the future.

 Bu çalışma, son on yılda Türkiyede yer alan Antalya İlinin Alanya İlçesinin yabancı turizmi üzerindeki Rusya ile yaşanan uçak krizi ve Kovid-19 pandemisinin etkisini belirlemeyi ve gelecekteki benzer krizler için öneriler sunmayı amaçlamaktadır. Alanyaya yabancı turistlerin gelişleri esas olarak hava ulaşımı ile olup hava ulaşımının aksaması yabancı turizmi kapsamındaki tüm faaliyetlerin aksamasına neden olmaktadır. Alanya, geçtiğimiz on yıl içinde, özellikle 2015 yılındaki Türkiye ile Rusya arasında yaşanan uçak krizi sonucu Rusyanın Türkiyeye yönelik turistik uçak seferlerine izin vermemesi ve 20192021 yılları arasındaki Kovid-19 pandemisi kapsamında hava ulaşımının neredeyse durma noktasına gelmesiyle yabancı turizmde çok önemli kayıplar yaşamıştır. Bu çalışma, Alanyada turizm ve turizm ulaşımı açısından bu tür kriz dönemlerinde yaşanan olumsuzlukları incelemekte ve gelecekte benzerlerinin yaşanmaması için öneriler sunmaktadır. Bu amaca ulaşmak için, 2011-2022 yılları arasında yayımlanan resmi turizm ve hava ulaşımı istatistikleri incelenmiş ve tarihsel veri analizleri yapılmıştır. Çalışma ile Alanyanın coğrafi konumu, nüfusu, ulaşım ve turizm faaliyetleri hakkında genel bilgi sunulmuş ve son 10 yılı ait detaylı hava ulaşım ve turizm istatistikleri değerlendirilmiştir. Bu bağlamda, çalışmada, Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Kültür ve Turizm Bakanlığı başta olmak üzere resmi raporlar ve veri tabanları veri kaynakları olarak kullanılmış, bu veriler Dünya Turizm Örgütü UNWTO, Devlet Hava Meydanları İşletmesi Genel Müdürlüğü DHMİ ve Alanya Ticaret ve Sanayi Odası ALTSO gibi diğer kaynaklar ile desteklenmiştir. Tanımlayıcı istatistikler, anahtar veri desenlerini açığa çıkarırken, akademik literatür, hükümet raporları ve haber kaynaklarından elde edilen veriler Alanyanın krizlere verdiği yanıtları anlamamıza yardımcı olmuştur. Bu kapsamda bu çalışma, krizlerin Alanyanın turizm ulaşımı ve turizmine nasıl etki ettiğine dair kapsamlı bir anlayışı ortaya koymakta ve gelecekte yaşanması muhtemel benzer krizlerle başa çıkmak için öneriler sunmaktadır.
