“…Ziyaret edilen destinasyondaki mutfağın geleneksel, otantik ya da yerel olması, turizm sektörünün bazı bölgelerde sezonluk özelliğinden dolayı yiyecek ve içeceklere ulaşımdaki değişimler ve yiyecek-içecek servisindeki hizmetin kalitesi yapılan eklemelere örnek olarak gösterilebilir (Işın, 2019, 197). Turistlerin yiyecek tüketimini etkileyen unsurlarla ilgili de literatürde pekçok çalışma bulunmaktadır (Wright, Nancarrow, & Kwok, 2001;Kim, Eves, & Scarles, 2009;Chang, Kivela & Mak, 2010;Mak ve diğerleri, 2012;Zhang, Li, Yang, & Zhang, 2018;Girgin, 2018;Semerci & Akbaba, 2018;Lin, Julve, Xu & Cui, 2018;Choe & Kim, 2018;Promsivapallop & Kannaovakun, 2019;Vuksanović, Tešanović, Kalenjuk & Portić, 2019).…”

Öz: Turistler tatil için gittikleri bölgelerde yerel yiyecek tüketmeyi tercih etmektedir. Bu nedenle turistlerin bölge ile ilgili hatıralarında olumlu/olumsuz bir imajın oluşumunda yerel yiyecekler oldukça önemlidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye'yi ziyaret eden yabancı turistlerin yerel yiyecekleri tüketme niyetlerinin tespit edilmesidir. Bu amaçla birlikte yabancı turistlerin yiyecek tüketimi ile ilgili kişilik özelliklerinin (gıda korkusu) ve ait oldukları kültürlerin de yiyecek tüketme niyetini ne yönde etkilediği belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Araştırmanın verileri Türkiye'nin üç farklı destinasyonunu (İstanbul, Antalya ve Nevşehir) ziyaret eden ve yerel yiyecekleri deneyimleyen 47 farklı milliyetten olan yabancı turistlerden (n:644) toplanmıştır. Bulgular incelendiğinde, teori ile örtüşen bir şekilde turistlerin tutum, öznel norm ve algılanan davranışsal kontrollerinin, davranışsal niyetlerini etkilediği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Çalışmada moderatör değişken olarak belirlenen, gıda korkusu düzeyinin ve kültürün turistlerin davranışsal niyetleri üzerinde ise kısmen etkili olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bununla birlikte farklı kültürel özelliklerinde yiyecek tüketimine yönelik davranışsal niyetler üzerindeki etkisi kısmidir.

“…Secondly, data on sociodemographic characteristics, such as education, occupation, behavior, and life factors, were not collected, and they may also be associated with dietary intake (58,73,76,77). In the present study, differences in nutrient intake were analyzed by gender, age, and region.…”

BackgroundDietary intake and nutritional assessing data from a representative sample of adult population living in an agricultural zone on Tibet Plateau are still lacking nowadays. This study aimed to assess the daily dietary intakes and respective food sources in 552 local residents (≥ 18 years old, 277 men and 275 women) living in 14 agricultural counties along the Yarlung Zangbo River on Tibet Plateau.MethodsFood consumption data were collected using a validated cultural-specific food frequency questionnaire that contained all local Tibetan foods and analyzed with three fixed factors: gender, age, and region. Nutrient intakes were calculated using Chinese food composition tables. Nutritional gaps and the percentages of participants who had inadequate and excessive nutrient intakes were calculated by estimated average requirement (EAR) cut-point methods.ResultsCompared with the dietary reference intakes, 68.4% of nutrient intakes were inadequate. Fiber, Ca, I, Zn, Se, and vitamin (Va, Vc, and folic acid) intakes appeared to be particularly deficient. The dietary energy intake was 7838.8 ± 537.1 KJ/d, with 78 and 84% of EAR values for men and women, respectively. The dietary intakes of most nutrients were below the estimated energy requirement/EAR or adequate intake values, while more than 70% of the participants had excessive intake of carbohydrate, especially the elderly (aged ≥ 51 years). The nutritional gap of Cu was more than 300%. Almost 100% of the participants was vulnerable to fiber, Se, and Va shortfalls due to the deficiency in sole food sources. The top five food sources of Se intake were highland barley (34.2%), meat (13%), rice (12.4%), eggs (12.2%), and cultural-specific beverages (7.8%). Eggs (42.1%), tubers (62.2%), vegetables (66.4%), and highland barley (49.7%) were the first contributors of Va, Ve, Vc, and folic acid, respectively.ConclusionThe dietary intake of a large sample of Tibetan adult population living in agricultural counties of Tibetan Autonomous Region is alarmingly insufficient. Gender inequality is common, and regional difference is widespread due to rapid urbanization. Young Tibetan adults aged 18–30 years are particularly vulnerable to micronutrient shortfalls and currently facing the risk of nutrition-insecurity-related dietary inadequacy. The respondents who belong to the elderly category (≥51 years of age) are facing the risk of “double burden of malnutrition” characterized by the coexistence of undernutrition, including micronutrient deficiencies and overweight or obesity.

“…Therefore, gastronomy cannot become a mild and anonymous product-it has to have its own personality, because otherwise, it will become vulnerable, delocalized, and prone to forgery. Cross-border destinations often lack a comprehensive understanding of the importance of gastronomy in terms of diversifying tourism and catalyzing local, regional, and national economic development [7,8].…”

Local producers constitute a crucial segment of the local economy, playing a pivotal role in driving rural development and the progress of tourism. Their avenues for showcasing products extend beyond markets, bazaars, or food events, often being integrated into a destination’s tourism offerings. Moreover, they contribute to the culinary progress within tourism. Originating from wider rural areas or nearby villages, local producers significantly impact everyday migrations, services, and financial transactions in relationships spanning suburban–urban, village–town, and cross-border cooperation. This study aims to scrutinize the social facets of the organization and work of local producers, offering insights into contemporary market processes. It also serves to illustrate cross-border cooperation and the role of culinary tourism in local business. Through qualitative data processing, we will delve into the outcomes of cross-border projects, emphasizing ethical and sustainable values rooted in territory, landscape, local culture, authenticity, and the application of culinary elements in tourism. The results will shed light on the economic, social, and cultural ramifications on markets in border regions, influencing daily life and the economy. This study will define key aspects of rural development. These research findings can inform local governments, the economy, and communities in future strategic planning for developing this market segment. Tourism, especially in hospitality, will empower rural communities to enhance financial inflow and create local employment opportunities, such as roles for vineyard tour guides or local chefs. Simultaneously, it will bolster other sectors of the local economy, such as agriculture.
