Bringing local food products into tourism through museums: Balıkesir cheeses museum proposal

Abstract

The aim of the study is to scientifically examine the proposal to open a cheese-themed gastronomy museum in Balıkesir in order to introduce local products of Balıkesir to tourism through the museum. In this context, the cheeses, which are the gastronomic value elements of Balıkesir province, and the use of the cheese museum as a touristic attractive element in terms of ensuring the sustainability of cheeses and the contribution of the province to tourism activities were tried to be determined. In addition, the importance of opening a cheese museum as well as suggestions regarding the content of the museum were also included in the study. While creating the content proposal, it was tried to be determined according to the characteristic features of the province by examining the similar museum examples in the world in detail. Since no previous study has been found in the literature on the cheese museum proposal, it is thought to be important in terms of creating awareness with this original study and being a new focus of attention that can attract visitors to the region.
