“…Henderson (Henderson, 2004) pointed out those experts in tourism use food as a promotional tool, so it is evident that food affects the overall customer's experience. Some authors explained that food represents one of the factors of the general tourism development (Stamenković, Đeri, 2016), so the hospitality and gastronomy are "a prerequisite for tourism development" (Ilić et al, 2016). Considering the fact that tourism sector is one of the most powerful drivers of economic growth (Rahmiati et al, 2019), it is obvious why the improvement of hospitality and tourist offer is important.…”

The visual appearance of food is an important attribute when people choose food. This paper aims to examine the impact of visual aesthetics on the consumer’s perception of a healthy and tasty meal. The paper consists of two empirical researches, which includes survey and experimental research. The survey results indicate the connection between the visual appearance of meals and the consumer’s perception of health and tasty meals. The experimental research compare consumer expectations about the meal taste based on its visual appearance, and actual consumer experience after tasting that meal. The results show that there are differences in consumer expectations, based on visual aesthetics and they should assist the hospitality and tourism business from acknowledging how the visual aesthetics of food can influence consumers’ food choice decisions. This can be an effective technique for hospitality and tourism companies in attracting consumers and increasing their loyalty.

Natural and anthropogenic tourist values, along with the appropriate tourist infrastructure and superstructure, represent the basis for the development of tourism in an area. In modern conditions, when it comes to tourist demand, there are more and more specific motives that encourage tourists to travel.

The principal aim of this paper was to explore destination competitiveness factors of Jablanica District (Serbia), by examining the attitudes of tourists. For research purposes, 32 attributes of destination competitiveness were rated with two parallel five-point Likert type scales -one by which tourists rated the importance of the attribute and the other by which they expressed their satisfaction with the same. A total of 378 validly completed questionnaires were collected and served as a basis for data analysis. By using a factor analysis, the most important destination competitiveness factors were extracted. Based on this factor solution, Importance-Performance Analysis (I.P.A.) was performed. Using I.P.A., this article examines the efficiency of the resources allocation based on isolated factors, and the possibility of creating management strategies to improve the competitiveness of this destination. The results of this study indicate that the factors of food and environment are of primary importance for tourists when choosing this tourism destination. Research results will be of great importance for tourism managers in the destination, as well as for authorities of local governments in the district, to better understand strengths and weaknesses of identified competitiveness factors and utilise them as a starting point for tourism development.
