I find the most useful and interesting information is the Kalkan news.  I was particulary interested in the road improvement info.

Kalkan Survey 20122. Coming to Kalkan - how you get here and where you stay

Although we believe our survey sample is probably representative of most non-Turkish visitors to Kalkan, the following numbers and percentages relate to our survey sample only

In our analysis, we may extrapolate the data where we believe it makes sense.

Remember that each of our 490 respondents represents a household or group of people.  We therefore estimate the total number represented is over 1,300 people.

We hope you have fun poring over the results of the survey.

2.1 What influenced your decision to come to Kalkan?
Kalkan Survey 2012

Important factors here are climate, people, location and food.  Not much movement here since last year's survey, except for 'value for money', which is up by 7%.


2.2 How many days were you in Kalkan over the past 12 months?
Kalkan Survey 2012
We assume that anyone here more than half a year (180 days), is a resident.

For the remainder, clearly two weeks just isn't enough!  About 60% of people coming on holiday spend more than 2 weeks in Kalkan.

 

2.2a Describe your economic contribution to Kalkan, (your spend), in 2011. Exclude property purchase.

Most of our respondents spent more in 2011 than they did in 2010.

 

2.3 How many days do you expect to be in Kalkan over the next 12 months?
Kalkan Survey 2012

The profile is similar to that for question 2.2. Although 7.5% say they won't be coming to Kalkan in 2012.

 

2.3a Describe your planned economic contribution to Kalkan, (your budget), for 2012. Exclude property purchase.

Around 45% say they will spend the same, with 28% saying they will spend slightly more, and only 10% set to spend significantly more this year.  7% say they won't be spending anything, which ties in with Q2.3 above.

 

2.4 What is your favourite month to be in Kalkan?
Kalkan Survey 2012

Over one third of people think September is the best month to be in Kalkan. The second most popular month is June, (21%), followed by May, (15%).  Not much change from last year's survey.

For residents in our survey, 58% preferred the months of September, October and November.
