A Research on Future Expectations and Perceptions Towards the Tourism Sector of the Adolescents’ Receiving Tourism Education During the Covid 19 Pandemic: The Case of Hatay

Summary/Abstract: The main purpose of this research is to determine the differences between the future expectations and perceptions of the tourism sector and various socio-demographic variables of adolescents’ who received tourism education during the days of the COVID-19 Pandemic. This study, in which the quantitative method was used, is a descriptive research based on the general survey model. Data for the research were collected through an online survey in May 2021. Within the scope of the study, 453 questionnaires were collected and each questionnaire was evaluated in terms of accuracy, consistency and completeness. As a result of this evaluation, it was decided to remove eight questionnaires that did not create a sense of confidence in the researchers from the data set and analyzes were carried out on 445 questionnaires. In this context, percentage, frequency, arithmetic mean, t-test and Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) analysis were performed. According to the results of the research, despite the pandemic, the rate of students who look forward to the future with hope and want to continue working in the tourism sector is high. However, in this process, it is seen that they do not have hope and belief in finding a job after high school graduation. On the other hand, the rate of those who think that the tourism sector is not a reliable choice due to the pandemic is 44.7%. As a result, in the long run, it is seen that the majority of the students look to the future with hope in their career development and they want to reinforce this situation by continuing their higher education. In general, it was determined that the negative attitudes of the students towards the tourism sector were caused by the working conditions.
