Abstract

Today, with changes and developments in technology, there are changes in concepts, uses, and even in daily life, and it is seen that this situation permeates all areas of life. In this context, many new types of technology have emerged. Blockchain is one of these technologies and is one of the applications in the tourism sector in human life. Therefore, it is necessary to examine this phenomenon by focusing on the studies carried out to perceive the possible results of both software and hardware applications realized with technologies developed on blockchain, and to understand the opportunities that may arise in the tourism sector. Accordingly, in this study, particularly studies on the areas where tourism and blockchain intersect are examined and a conceptual analysis is conducted on these topics by determining the topics of blockchain use in Europe and the USA from the perspective of basic accommodation services, tourist data, medical tourism, and global application areas. Based on this academic framework, an application suggestion for Türkiye is also provided.
