Local cuisines as a factor in tourist destination choice: A study on the perceptions of tourists visiting İzmir Peninsula

Abstract

This study aims to present the attractiveness level of local food for tourists visiting İzmir Peninsula. Within the scope of this study, a field study was done on foreign tourists and domestic tourists visiting İzmir Peninsula (n=430) and data obtained from ideas and perceptions of tourists were examined. As a result of this study, local food did not play a determinant role in tourists’ destination choice of the peninsula; however they enjoyed the local food and there was a lack of promotion and advertising.
