The Evaulation of Gastronomic Events Within the Context of Rural Tourism Planning
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to reveal how to perceive and plan gastronomic events in terms of tourism developments of rural areas. In the study in which the qualitative research approach is adopted, the research data is obtained through a document review. As a result of the findings from the literature review carried out for the gastronomic events which are regularly arranged in rural parts of Canada and America, strategic planning suggestions have been given about how food culture can be utilized in rural parts of Turkey. Consequently, it is concluded that the evaluation of cultural and gastronomic attractions with rural scale activities is important in terms of touristic development of these areas. It is also emphasized that these activities should be
supplemented by various complementary activities such as walking, climbing, cycling, angling and it is necessary to make the farmers, tradesmen and local people conscious of the planning and execution of activities.
