“…The items of the measurement instrument were adopted from previous research (see Appendix B). Food authenticity was measured by 9 items: Local ingredients (A1), unique cooking methods (A2), local taste (A3), special kitchenware (A4), local food (A5), time-honored catering (A6), local food culture (A7), local eating habits (A8), and eating with residents (A9), which were adopted from previous research [17,44,45,49,59,79]. Food quality was measured by using five items: Deliciousness (F1), nutrition (F2), attractive smell (F3), fresh food (F4), and suitable temperature of food (F5), which were adopted from previous research [23,56,57,[80][81][82].…”

Authenticity, Quality, and Loyalty: Local Food and Sustainable Tourism Experience

2019

The sustainability of rural development, both economic and environmental, has been increasingly linking to local food, which plays an indispensable role by preserving traditional culture, attracting tourists, and supporting the regional economy. However, the authenticity and quality of local food have not been fully convinced as competitive advantages by most practitioners. Little is known about how authenticity affects quality attributes, tourist satisfaction, and tourist loyalty. Thus, this study examines the role of authenticity in the quality–satisfaction–loyalty framework. The field research was performed in Shunde County, Guangdong Province, China. The results challenge the traditional view of quality attributes by highlighting that authenticity is a key antecedent to the quality–satisfaction–loyalty framework of food tourism. In contrast, the relationships among quality attributes, tourist satisfaction, and tourist loyalty are contingent on the extent to which food tourists perceive the authenticity of rural local food.

“…More people have been exposed to foreign food products due to the influence of globalization, even before they begin an overseas trip, which means they have already had the opportunity to become familiar with a diversity of foreign foods ( Kim et al (2009Kim et al ( , 2013, Kim and Eves (2012) Food-related personality traits Food neophilia Mak (2011), Cohen andAvieli (2004), Fischler (1988), Kim et al (2009Kim et al ( , 2013, Mak, Lumbers, Eves, and Chang (2012) (1998), Youn and Kim (2017) Finally, the interest demonstrated in relation to local food products could be based on a set of attributes that range from a concern for environmental and social sustainability through demands for food products that are safe, distinctive, and traceable (Boniface, 2003;Mynttinen et al, 2015;Zagata, 2012). The qualities associated with local products include being fresh, tasty, nutritious and healthy, and safe (Aprile et al, 2016).…”

“…Local food products are conceptualized as authentic products that symbolize a specific place and culture (Sims, 2009). Unfamiliar ingredients, unique food names, and stories about food origins increase consumers' perceptions of authenticity (Youn & Kim, 2017). Consumers recognize and value regionality in food products, and this feature appears to enhance aspects of territorial identity and cultural distinctiveness (Dimara & Skuras, 2003;Tregear et al, 1998).…”

The contribution made by local products to local economic development has been recognized.While consuming local food products, visitors not only satisfy their vital needs but also interact with local culture and support local development by stimulating demand. Despite this, the determinants of local food product consumption by international visitors have been relatively neglected. The results reveal that the determinants related to interaction with the destination and local products are stronger, but there are differences between visitors' characteristics. The findings contribute to a comprehensive understanding about the interaction of inbound tourism and local food product consumption. KEYWORDS inbound tourism, local food consumption, Portugal | INTRODUCTIONAlthough tourism can be seen as just another form of economic activity that creates employment and income, it is the richness of the interactions between visitors and local destinations that make the tourism industry unique (Cohen & Avieli, 2004;Hsieh & Chang, 2006;Quan & Wang, 2004;Skuras, Dimara, & Petrou, 2006;Telfer & Wall, 1996).Tourism impacts on local destinations in many ways, although, in recent years, there has been growing interest in analysing the synergy between tourism and local food products (Bessière, 1998;Cohen & Avieli, 2004;Hjalager & Richards, 2002;Kivela & Crotts, 2006;Quan & Wang, 2004;Telfer & Wall, 2000). Local food products refer to products that are locally processed and regionally branded, have a local or regional identity (Enteleca Research and Consultancy, 2000;Kim, Eves, & Scarles, 2009;Nummedal & Hall, 2006;Sims, 2009), and are linked to the culture of a particular local community (Bessière, 1998).The importance in studying international visitors' relation with local food is twofold. First, while buying local food products, visitors spur demand, thus contributing to local development (Bessière, 1998;Tellstrom, Gustafsson, & Mossberg, 2005). Second, local food can play an important role in visitors' destination choice, which provides a valuable opportunity for advertising the identity of a destination (Bessière, 1998;Boniface, 2003;Cohen & Avieli, 2004;Henderson, 2009;Hjalager & Richards, 2002). Moreover, contact with local food prod- Despite the relevance of local food products in the tourism experience, the consumption of these products during a trip occurs with different grades of intensity. Whereas certain visitors travel expressly for gastronomic reasons (Bessière, 1998;Hjalager & Richards, 2002;Kivela & Crotts, 2006;Quan & Wang, 2004), others consider local food products as a cultural element of a tourism destination with relevance to their tourism experience (Fields, 2002;Kim et al., 2009;Kim & Eves, 2012;Quan & Wang, 2004). There are others, however, who do not attribute a great deal of relevance to the consumption of local food products. Therefore, it is of utmost relevance to increase knowledge regarding visitors' demand for local food products and the factors that may influence this demand. The identification...
