Last chance tourism is a type of tourism that involves visiting destinations that are about to disappear before they disappear. One of the most important media outlets where people can follow publications about these destinations is Newspapers. The aim of the study was to examine the extent to which Hasankeyf was covered by last chance tourism in newspapers. In this context, the 5 Most read newspapers in Turkey were selected by taking into account their sales circulation. On the websites of these newspapers, news about Hasankeyf was obtained between 2006-2020. The news received was evaluated in terms of including approaches related to last-chance tourism. A total of 2699 newspaper reports were examined within the scope of the research and content analysis method was used in the analysis of the data. According to the results obtained in the study, it was found that the most commonly used codes for last-chance tourism in news content were “underwater” and “Ilisu Dam”. The least common codes in news content are “last chance” and “see before you disappear”. As a result of the study, the news about Hasankeyf concluded that Hasankeyf was not highlighted as a last-chance tourism destination. However, Hasankeyf will be flooded and the area has been found to be the focus of attention and attracting visitors. According to the results obtained, recommendations on the subject were presented in the results section of the study. 2024-08-29 https://jatosjournal.org/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=51852 https://jatosjournal.org/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=51852 Sedat ŞAHİN ,Seda İDİKUT ŞAHİN Home restaurant management can be explained as a concept where independent hosts host tourists visiting their cities and offer catering services. Therefore, it can be seen as an experience where visitors can obtain direct and more detailed information about the destinations they travel to. In terms of destinations, introducing new types of services and differentiation strategies are extremely important in providing competitive advantage. Offering a new experience to visitors can be considered as an important attraction in this context. Based on this idea, this study aimed to evaluate the stakeholder views on the destination gains that may arise if home restaurant is presented as a tourist product. Interview technique, one of the qualitative research methods, was used within the scope of the research. Van province, which has its own characteristics and is thought to be rich in food and beverage culture, was chosen as the application area of the study. The study was carried out with a 6-person working group composed of decision makers in the destination. According to the results of the research, it has been determined that home restaurant business can be an important attraction factor, especially in terms of destination promotion. According to another important result, it is possible to mention that home restaurant business will contribute significantly to the promotion and protection of local culture. 2024-08-29 https://jatosjournal.org/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=51853 https://jatosjournal.org/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=51853 Dilara DENİZ ,Hacer ARSLAN KALAY This study has been prepared to determine if there is a significant reltionship between Emotional Intelligence’s dimensions and Job Performance in terms of tourist guides.

The approach of the employee to the hotel customer brings along with the customer satisfaction to be preferred again. The labor-intensive nature of the tourism sector and the high competitiveness of the sector reveal the importance of the quality of the employed labor force. In addition, ensuring customer satisfaction, increasing competitiveness enables hotel businesses to gain competitive advantage in the sector. This situation will lead the tourism hotel businesses to use their labor resources more effectively and to increase their efforts to keep them in operation.

However, the problems related to the establishment locations of ski centers cause inefficiency in winter sports. This case limits recreational tourism activities and causes negative situations to arise in terms of the provinces’ future position where ski centers have been established. This situation, encountered in many provinces of Turkey, is also existing for Van Abalı Ski Center and Bitlis Nemrut Kardelen Ski Center. The efficiency problems of these ski centers arising from the choice of location are the subject of this study. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to present to all stakeholders the fact that the problems caused by the incorrect choice of location of the ski centers affect the environmental problems, especially economic losses, and potential winter sports investments. This study was produced as part of a master's thesis on the winter tourism potential of Van and Bitlis provinces and focused on the accuracy and efficiency of the location selection of the ski centers in the research area. Field observations were carried out for 3 seasons with subject matter experts in order to determine the location characteristics of the ski resorts. In this context, an interview consisting of six questions was conducted primarily with subject matter experts and business managers in order to show whether the location choices are correct and businesses work efficiently. In addition, three questions of a survey consisting of 23 questions applied in the master's thesis were used for this study to support fieldwork and interviews. The overall result from all these data collection tools demonstrated that the location choices of Abalı and Nemrut Kardelen Ski resorts were incorrect. For this reason, some years skiing cannot be done for a whole season (2018-2019), while in some years only skiing can be done for a very limited period of time. Undoubtedly, this situation both cannot meet the recreational activity needs of the people living in the region and stands as a major obstacle to possible winter tourism investments in the region. 2024-08-29
