The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of these variables on travelers’ perceptions on destination satisfaction. By using the scale developed by Qu and Li (1997), modified and applied by Rittichainuwat, Qu and Mongknonvanit (2002), travelers requested to participate in the present study by filling out the questionnaire in a selfadministrative manner. A sample of 251 tourists was collected, through convenience sampling, at the Ercan Airport departure hall. The research model has been designed and multiple regression analysis in SPSS 13.0 has been used for the measurement of the hypothesized relationships.In light of regression analysis results; environment and safety, lodging and restaurant facilities, shopping and tourist attractions and transportation facilities exerted significant positive effects on destination satisfaction. Findings also show that food dimension is found to have an insignificant effect on destination satisfaction. Implications for managers, limitations, and implications for future research were presented in the current study.
