Abstract
ABSTRACT This study examines tour operators' perceptions of travel conditions of Central Asia (CA) Countries (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan). Survey data were gathered from tour operators and travel agents in Turkey. Travel conditions such as barriers, decision influencers for potential tourists to visit CA countries, reasons for travel, and suggestions for encouraging and improving tourism, evaluation of general travel conditions, promotion, and advertisement efforts were assessed. In addition, the study also examined satisfaction with travel to CA countries as a function of general travel conditions. Study concludes with appropriate management and policy implications for both travel operators and the four Central Asian countries.
