Abstract:

 In this study, museums, which are a sub-branch of cultural tourism, were examined.

In this context, the visitor numbers of 13 public museums in Istanbul are within the scope of the research. Due to the pandemic in the world, one of the most affected areas in cultural tourism has been museums. There has been a serious decrease in the number of museum visitors between the years 2014-2021 in the time periods corresponding to the pandemic years. In order to minimize the effects of this decline, social media tools and virtual videos were used. Along with the pandemic, it is seen in the graphics prepared due to the political events in the public museums Istanbul 2016, that the number of visitors is greatly reduced. Especially in such periods, it is recommended that museums use virtual tour and social media tools widely in order to increase museum visits. In the light of the data obtained according to the research conducted in 13 museums in Istanbul, suggestions that are highly applicable to museum managers are given in order to show the number of visitors and the importance of museums in cultural tourism.

 2020 yılı başlarında tüm dünyada etkili olan Covid-19 küresel salgını birçok sektör üzerinde etkili olmuş, insanların yaşama alışkanlıklarını değiştirmiştir. Salgın etkileri 2021 yılı sonlarına doğru normalleşmelere tabi olsa da dolaylı etkilerinin daha ne kadar süreceği yapılacak kapsamlı ve özel araştırmalarla ortaya çıkarılabilecektir. Bu çalışmada en önemli kültürel turizm şehirlerinden birisi olan İstanbulda bulunan kamu müzelerinin ziyaretçi sayıları analiz edilmiştir. Bu doğrultuda 16 adet kamu müzesinin 2014  2021 yılları arasındaki ziyaretçi sayıları analiz edilmiştir. Yapılan değerlendirme, 2020 yılında Türkiyede alınan pandemi önlemlerinin müze ziyaretçi sayılarına önemli ölçüde etki ettikleri gözlemlenmiştir. Pandemi yanında 2016 yılında müze ziyaretçi sayılarında büyük düşüşlerin olduğu görülmüştür. 2016 yılı ziyaretçi sayısı düşüşleri askeri darbe kalkışmasına bağlanmış ve kalkışma etkileri ile pandemi etkileri karşılaştırılmıştır. Özellikle böyle dönemlerde müze ziyaretinin arttırılması için müzelerin sanal tur ve sosyal medya araçlarını yaygın bir şekilde kullanılması önerilmektedir. İstanbul da bulunan 13 müzede yapılan araştırmaya göre elde edilen veriler ışığında ziyaretçi sayısını ve kültür turizmi içerisinde müzelerin önemini göstermek amacı ile müze yöneticilerine uygulanabilirliği yüksek olan önerilere yer verilmiştir.
