“…On the other hand, there are three key elements in the design of a food festival: taste, place and tradition (Organ et al, 2015). The festivals are a good place to reinforce the regional/local identity and they permit the community to show their products (Hubbard et al, 2012), although both elements must be related to the cultural policy objectives that are developed in the destination (Hollows et al, 2014). However, it is also necessary for their organisers to ensure the quality of the gastronomic products that are presented and that it reflects the identity of the local/regional gastronomy (Horng and Tsai, 2012), and, therefore, it is distanced from the possible strategies used to convert it in a tourist product adapted exclusively to the tastes of the visitors.…”

“…In recent years a significant number of tourist destinations have created a food festival in order to develop tourism since the festivals are a good way to attract tourists (Horng et al, 2013). Some food festival examples analysed by the academic literature were held in the USA (Smith and Costello, 2009), UK (Hollows et al, 2014), Macau (Wu et al, 2014), Australia (Axelsen and Swan, 2010), Serbia (Gagic et al, 2013) and Germany (Ottembacher and Harrington, 2013). Hall et al (2003) indicate that one must differentiate between the tourists that make gastronomy a part of their experience during their trip and the visitors that do not opt for this aspect and only consider food as something necessary in their trip.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is the segmentation of the tourists who visit a gastronomic festival in the city of Guayaquil, Ecuador, in accordance with their perceptions with respect to gastronomy. Design/methodology/approach To achieve this objective, the methodology used in this research has been the application of a multivariate technique of grouping items and the realisation of a post hoc single variate ANOVA analysis. Findings The principal conclusions resulting from this research are focussed on the segmentation of the tourists in three different groups and how the travellers’ interest in gastronomy leads to greater satisfaction with the destination. Practical implications The main practical implications are centred on better understanding of the key factors of how gastronomy can reinforce a tourist destination and produce greater satisfaction for the traveller. Originality/value Gastronomy is used as a source of inspiration in tourist destinations. This research reinforces this theme, taking on the study of a gastronomic festival in an important business destination, such as the city of Guayaquil, in a geographic area, Latin America, characterised by a recognised gastronomy but still little studied in the scientific literature.

“…Residents are regularly enrolled by state actors, destination marketing organisations and businesses to co-create and perform hospitality within the visitor economy (Hollows et al, 2014; Richter, 2010). The valorisation of hospitality, especially when performed in ‘acceptable’ forms, for example in gastronomic events celebrating local products, craft skills and heritage, is thus used in strategic placemaking and regeneration practices (Bell, 2007).…”

Hospitality has often been conceived primarily as a supporting component of the tourism product. This commentary synthesises inter and multidisciplinary literature to examine alternative and more complex intersections of hospitality and tourism. It discusses four thematic areas of hospitality research: labour; the transformation of place (experiences); socio-material and socio-technological practice; and human encounters. It argues that applying hospitality as a sensitising concept in these domains of enquiry, and studying hospitality’s abstract and concrete dimensions, enhances our understanding of tourism as socio-economic phenomena and a global system, and helps to appreciate tourism’s implications for multiple stakeholders. Moreover, it proposes a range of questions for future research.

“…En los últimos años, un importante número de destinos han creado festivales gastronómicos o enológicos para desarrollar el turismo, ya que los festivales son un buen camino para atraer a los turistas (Horng, Su & So, 2013).

RESUMENEl objetivo de este trabajo es contribuir a reforzar la literatura científica en el campo de los festivales gastronómicos en América Latina. Este artículo sintetiza los resultados de un trabajo de campo realizado en el festival gastronómico Raíces, celebrado en Guayaquil, Ecuador, en julio de 2015, con el objetivo de conocer el perfil del turista que lo visita, las características de su viaje, sus percepciones respecto a diferentes aspectos relacionados con este festival y la satisfacción del visitante. Se ha aplicado el análisis factorial como técnica de reducción de datos. Los resultados revelan una tipología de turista mayoritariamente nacional, aunque se detecta una importante presencia de turistas extranjeros, mayoritariamente jóvenes y con una buena formación académica. Se ha comprobado una importante relación entre el deseo de conocer la gastronomía, renta disponible y la categoría de establecimientos hoteleros donde se alojan. Además, existe una motivación gastronómica en muchos visitantes. Estas relaciones deben tenerse en cuenta para PALABRAS CLAVETurismo. Festivales Gastronómicos. Desarrollo Económico. Ecuador. Latinoamérica ABSTRACTThe objective of this work is to help strengthen scientific literature about food festivals in Latin America. This article summarizes the results of a field work carried out in the gastronomic festival called Raíces held in Guayaquil, Ecuador, in July 2015, with the aim of knowing the profile of tourists who visit it, the characteristics of their trip, their perceptions about different topics related to this festival and visitor satisfaction. A factorial analysis has been applied as a data reduction technique. The results show that the tourist is mostly national, but a significant presence of foreign tourists, mostly young people, with a good academic training. It has been found an important relationship between the desire of knowing the food, purchase power, and category of hotels where they stay. In addition, many visitors are motivated to know the gastronomy. These relationships should be taken into account to consider food festivals as an important tourist offer and tourist promotion, also in the cities of Latin America.
