“…Novel aspects of local food consumption, ranging from food attributes to local eating habits, extend individuals' understanding of food culture to a deeper grasp of local culture (Mak et al, 2012). Local food consumption as a novel experience implies features of strangeness and otherness, which improve one's cultural comprehension and appreciation (Blomstervik et al, 2021). Additionally, novelty is found to influence tourists' cultural consciousness (Chang et al, 2010;Ji et al, 2016) and prompt them to participate in cultural activities (Kim and Eves, 2012;Özdemir and Seyito glu, 2017).…”

Purpose This paper aims to explore the relationships among local food consumption experience, cultural competence, eudaimonia, and behavioral intention. Building upon acculturation theory, need hierarchy theory and self-determination theory, the current study develops a conceptual model of local food consumption as international tourists’ acculturation process. Design/methodology/approach This study collects data from 305 Chinese outbound tourists and uses partial least squares-structural equation modeling to examine the developed model. Findings The findings reveal a significant effect of the local food consumption experience, consisting of novel, authentic, sensory and social dimensions, on cultural competence, which subsequently evokes eudaimonia and behavioral response toward local food. The mediating effect of cultural competence is also confirmed. Practical implications Destination marketers and restaurant managers should recognize local food consumption as a meaningful tool that contributes to tourists’ cultural competence and eudaimonic well-being during travel. They should strive to craft an indigenous consumption setting and provide employee training on the history and culture of local food, helping tourists understand local food customs and embrace different food cultures. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, very few studies have attempted to examine the meaningful consequences of local food consumption through the theoretical lens of acculturation. This study dives into international tourists’ local food consumption and pioneers a conceptual model to capture how local food consumption experience provokes their eudaimonia and behavioral desires through the mechanism of cultural competence.

“…Indigenous knowledge as a tourism driver for the development of remote and less accessible destinations A desire for novel experiences is an important trigger of tourist destination choice (Blomstervik et al, 2020). When a cultural practice is unique, novel and interesting, it could compensate for a shortfall in the facilities and draw tourists who willingly exert considerable effort to seek out the destination.…”

“…Few studies have investigated the relationship between physical and social elements of novelty in tourism (e.g. Blomstervik, Prebensen, Campos, & Pinto, 2021;Dedeoglu et al, 2018), and future research is encouraged to elaborate on both dimensions. Sensory studies are gaining attention in the tourism literature, especially as sensory stimuli are proposed to have a positive impact on loyalty, perceived quality, value, and satisfaction (Lv et al, 2020).…”
