Özet:

Tourism is a phenomenon arising from the supply of natural, historical and other attractions in the surrounding area where tourism is generally carried out along with the lower and upper building facilities. Therefore, the ability of the attractions to continue to offer their tourist products and the ability to increase the tourist potential depends primarily on the sustainability of tourism. The sustainability of tourism in a region is largely dependent on the sustainability attitudes of stakeholders. University students, on the one hand, should be seen as tourists with the high levels of travel and participation in tourism, on the other hand, students who receive tourism education should be seen as important stakeholders with the potential to shape the future of tourism, primarily because of the education they receive and the social status they will in the future. The study aims to measure the attitudes of university students on tourism sustainability. According to this purpose, the research is planned as an illustrative, or situation-defining research that is included in quantitative research. In the study, Suk and his friends (2005) developed 38 expressions consisting of the 7-dimensional measurement tool used by local people to measure sustainable tourism attitudes. Primary data sources were used in the research. In the collection of research data, a question form was organized to measure the attitudes of participants to tourism sustainability and research data was obtained by answering the question forms with the face-to-face interview technique. The research was conducted with students of Mehmet Akif Ersoy University who studied in the Burdur province with many varieties in terms of alternative tourism. The study examined the relationship between the part that students were trained, whether they had holiday experiences, the average time of holiday spent per year, the type of business staying on holiday, the average monthly spending amount, the duration of life in Burdur and the gender and the explanatory factor analysis of the seven subdimensional attitudes of tourism sustainability. In the study, hypothesis, correlation and accumulation tests were used. The study found that the department in which university students studied, the type of business in the holiday experience, the duration of the stay and gender variables, and the attitudes of tourism sustainability, have been linked.
