Domestic Tourists’ Attitudes Towards Gastronomy Tourism: A Case Study Of Konya

Abstract

After people satisfy their physiological needs such as food and drink, the need for safety and shelter arises, and these are regarded as the essential things that should be provided. These are followed by belongingness and esteem based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Although it may seem different from the first needs, meeting these needs today is also related to food and drink. Consumption other than compulsory food consumption includes activities carried out with family and friends or during business meetings. Once a certain level of welfare is reached, social needs become more salient. Travel is also included in the activities for purposes of socialization. Tour operators determine destinations for purposes such as tasting food and getting to know different cultures. This study examines the perspective of domestic tourists visiting Konya to see historical places towards gastronomy tourism. For this purpose, 439 validated surveys were evaluated. As a result, people differ in their preferences of the type of tourism and their expectations while travelling. Compared with other studies, it was determined that domestic tourists visiting Konya to see the historical places have a low interest in the cuisine culture and indirectly in Konya cuisine. In terms of general satisfaction, creating a destination based on the tourist profile is considered important.
