“…The importance of using real ingredients and traditional methods of preparation cannot be overstated. Diners can tell if dishes are rushed through or treated with reverence for their cultural roots and culinary traditions (Malota, et al, 2023). In conclusion, a customer's overall experience and propensity to return to an ethnically themed restaurant are affected by the business's commitment to authenticity across all of its touchpoints.…”

Ethnic-themed restaurants provide a vast range of cuisines to diners worldwide. Customer happiness depends on authenticity, which helps these businesses succeed. This abstract discusses the many aspects that determine ethnic-themed restaurant authenticity and consumer happiness. First, the menu determines authenticity in such restaurants. For an authentic dining experience, a well-researched and diversified menu of traditional and regional cuisines produced with authentic ingredients and cooking methods is vital. Chefs and kitchen workers that know the food and culture help retain authenticity. Dishes that don't match the homeland's tastes and appearance might disappoint customers. Interior design and décor also contribute to authenticity. The restaurant's artwork, decor, and style must reflect the culture. By taking customers to the culture's heartland, this makes eating more enjoyable. Overambitious decorating may become caricature, losing genuineness. In ethnic-themed restaurants, service is crucial to client happiness. Culturally aware staff who can walk guests through the menu and give recommendations create a genuine eating experience. Friendly and attentive service ensures customer happiness and memory retention. Ingredient sourcing affects authenticity too. Real, high-quality, and, if feasible, local ingredients give meals their true flavor. Customers who want authentic food may be disappointed when restaurants cut corners on ingredients for cost or convenience. The restaurant's cultural expression and environment should also be courteous and devoid of stereotypes and cultural appropriation. Misrepresentation or appropriation might hurt customers' authenticity and satisfaction as they become more culturally sensitive. Ethnic-themed restaurants must retain authenticity via food, design, service, ingredient sourcing, and cultural portrayal, yet consumers' expectations might differ. Customers' authentic impressions are influenced by their origins, cultures, and experiences. Thus, restaurant owners must combine serving a varied audience with preserving the food and culture. Finally, ethnic-themed restaurant authenticity is a complicated interaction of elements that affects consumer happiness. These businesses must provide authentic cuisine, ambiance, service, and ingredients while respecting ethnic differences and meeting client expectations to prosper. Achieving this balance is a constant challenge that rewards diners seeking a genuine culinary experience. Authenticity in Ethnic Restaurants and Customer Satisfaction

“…Buna göre Ye-Dua Et-Sev turizm trendi; "Bireyin eşiktelik sürecinde liminoid bir davranış sergileyerek yiyeceğin hedonik bir unsur olarak tüketildiği, ruhani bir içgörü sağlama potansiyeline sahip çeşitli turistik deneyimler ile gelişen ve bireyin iyi oluşuyla sonuçlanarak, seyahat sonrasında bireylerde olumlu anlamda davranış değişikliği yaratan aktiviteler bütünü" şeklinde tanımlanabilir. Mutfak kültür deneyiminin, liminoid bir davranışa yol açan ya da kültürel bir şok unsuru olarak (Malota ve Mucsi, 2021) dönüşüm sürecinin başlangıç safhasını oluşturduğu ve doruk deneyimlerin yaşanmasına aracılık edebileceği öngörülmektedir (Lin, 2017: 89). Dolayısıyla Maslow'un da belirttiği üzere "yaşanıp sona erecek ancak unutulmayacak" bir deneyim olabileceği söylenebilir (1971: 16).…”

ÖzetBu çalışma, 2006 yılında kitap olarak basılan ve 8 milyonun üzerinde satış hacmine ulaşan, ardından 2010 yılında sinema filmi olarak vizyona girerek 10 milyondan fazla satılan Ye-Dua Et-Sev kitabından hareketle gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yazar Elizabeth Gilbert'in İtalya, Hindistan ve Endonezya'ya yaptığı seyahati ve bu seyahat boyunca deneyimlediği içsel yolculuğuna ilişkin anılarını kaleme aldığı kitabı, ortaya çıkarmış olduğu gastronomik ve turistik deneyimlerden hareketle 2022 yılı turizm trendleri arasında gösterilmiştir. Bu çalışmada sistematik alanyazın derlemesi yönteminden hareketle Ye-Dua Et-Sev felsefesinin ortaya çıkışı, turistik seyahatlerdeki yeri ve turizm araştırmaları açısından geleceği ele alınmıştır. Elde edilen derleme bulguları ve Ye-Dua Et-Sev turizm trendinin kavramsal altyapısını oluşturan dönüştürücü turizm yaklaşımından hareketle gelecekteki turizm temelli çeşitli akademik araştırmalar için yeni bir model önerisi sunulmuştur. Sonuç olarak gastronomik deneyim, dönüştürücü turizm deneyimi ve iyi oluş değişkenleri çerçevesinde eşiktelik (Ye), doruk deneyim (Dua Et) ve davranışsal değişiklik (Sev) safhalarını içeren turizm trendinin teorik ve operasyonel çıktılarının tartışılabileceği bir model ileri sürülmüştür.

“…The role of the community and traditional leaders is very much needed in an effort to preserve and develop regional culture (Isabella et al, 2013;Malota & Mucsi, 2021). The lack of cultural studies, cultural activities, and many reduced cultural rituals make the nation's generation dislike adding cultural insight.…”
