Özet |
The whole world has entered a different life period with the COVID-19 epidemic that emerged in the Wuhan province of the People’s Republic of China in 2019. Every country has taken some important precautions by making a great effort to combat the epidemic. The implementation of social/physical distance rules in all areas of life is one of these major precautions. Social/physical distance negatively affects all industries. One of these industries is undoubtedly tourism. Tourism activities, by their nature, make it difficult to maintain social/physical distance between people because tourism is a series of important sociological activities in which people act together. For this reason, it is very hard to maintain social/physical distance for tourism sector. It is thought that camping and caravan tourism is an essential alternative to overcome this difficulty. Therefore, it is aimed to determine whether the COVID-19 pandemic affects the development of camping and caravan tourism depending on the changing holiday understanding. Likewise, according to the research, interest in camping and caravan tourism as an alternative has increased considerably due to COVID-19 in the world. Camping and caravan tourism has become more popular both due to the social distance rule and for the purpose to get away from the crowd. This alternative tourism, which provides the opportunity to be intertwined with nature, offers vacationers the opportunity to rest in a more spacious and wider environment during the epidemic. In line with the increasing demand, the camp areas were rearranged according to the rules against the virus risk, and the caravan companies took action against the demands. |
