Özet:

In Turkey, the profits from the tourism industry make a significant contribution to the national income. Most of the revenue from this sector is provided from foreign tourists coming through the air. Therefore, the efficient use of the airports in terms of tourism appears as one of the criteria that brings our national income up. This study aims to provide information on the changes that must be made in the entries by measuring the data coverage analysis (VZA) method of the airports located in Turkey’s important tourism cities in 2015. The number of staff working at the airports, the staff expenses, the number of flights and the terminal passenger capacity entered; the number of tourists and the tourist income output variable taken by the BCC entered the VZA model and the activities of the airports were measured. According to the results of the study; 16 of the airports of Istanbul Atatürk, Muğla Dalaman, Muğla Milas Bodrum, Isparta, Nevşehir Kapadokya and Denizli have been found active.
