Abstract (Original Language): 
Son yirmi yıl içerisinde internet uygulamaları tüm dünyada hızla yaygınlaşmış ve e-ticaret birçok işletmenin en önemli pazarlama araçlarından birisi haline gelmiş¬tir. Küresel ticaretin önemli bir parçası olan turizm endüstrisinde de internet uzun süredir birçok farklı amaç için kullanılmaktadır. Günümüzde araştırmacı ve yöneticiler internet kullanımının gerekliliğini ve bunun sınırlarını tartışmaktadırlar. Bu araştırmanın temel amacı internet kullanımının seyahat acentalarındaki rolünün ve öneminin belirlenmesidir. Ayrıca seyahat acentalarının pazarlamada öncelik verdikleri dağıtım kanallarının belirlenmesi de amaçlar arasında yer almaktadır. İstanbul'da faaliyet gösteren 148 A grubu seyahat acentesi seçilmiş ve kapalı uçlu sorulardan oluşan bir anket bu işletmelerin yöneticilerine uygulanmıştır. Bulgulara göre, işletmelerin %87'sinin internet sayfasına sahip olduğu ve bu sayfaları genellikle işletme içindeki bir uzman ile veya dışarıdan danışmanlık hizmeti alarak oluşturdukları anlaşılmaktadır. İnternet kullanımının en önemli gerekçeleri kolay ulaşılabilme ve müşteriyle iletişimi kolaylaştırması şeklinde ortaya çıkmıştır. İnternet sayfalarında en çok sunulan hiz¬metler ise; adres bilgileri, satış fiyatları ve politikaları ve rezervasyon bilgileridir. Anova testi sonucunda, eğitim ve deneyim düzeylerine göre yöneticilerin görüşleri a¬rasında anlamlı farklılıklar saptanmıştır.
