Purpose More specifically, the research identifies the determinants of positive and negative memorable experiences in different contexts of food tourism. Design/methodology/approach Qualitative data were collected from domestic and international tourists visiting New Zealand. Using an in-person, self-administered, electronic survey, 374 complete surveys were gathered in Christchurch City. Findings The findings reveal 25 factors contributing to positive memorable experiences, whereas the lack of seven of them leads to negative memorable experiences. Food quality is the most dominant determinant of both positive and negative memorable experiences. Originality/value Despite existing various types of food and drink experiences, the literature largely focused on the consumption part. The negative memorable experience has also been neglected. To expand the knowledge of the determinants of memorable food/drink experiences, this research focuses on all types of such experiences including positive and negative ones to provide a comprehensive understanding of memorable experiences within food tourism.

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

One of the key elements for the development of an agro-tourism destination can be specific gastronomy. In this context, research and understanding of the motivation of tourists who visit those destinations can influence the development of the concept of their sustainability, which was the goal of this research. The research was conducted during 2022 on a total sample of 607 respondents who stayed in agro-tourism destinations in the Republic of Serbia. The paper presents motivational factors that potentially influence the frequency of gastronomic tourists to try local gastronomic specialties and food in agro-tourism destinations. The results indicate that the cultural experience dimension, excitement dimension, interpersonal, relation dimension, and sensory appeal dimension show a significant influence on the visitation of agro-tourism destinations by gastronomic tourists, while the health concern dimension factor does not show statistical significance. The results undoubtedly indicate that certain socio-demographic characteristics of gastro-tourists have an impact on the development of an agro-tourism destination, in the direction that the more educated as well as women have more positive attitudes towards the influence of motivational factors on the development of an agro-tourism destination.

“…The role of agritourism in growing local communities regarding job creation, handicraft sales, and living standards has been conceptualized and practically shown based on a literature study. Several studies have shed light on agritourism intending to enhance local communities' living standards (Songkhla & Somboonsuke, 2013;Rogerson andRogerson, 2014 Bachok et al, 2019;Sgroi et al, 2018;Pehin Dato Musa & Chin, 2022b) Theoretically this study empirically assessed the link between agritourism and job creation, handicraft sales, living standard, and government support. Also, the study assessed the link between government support and job creation, handicraft sales, and living standard.…”

This study aims to assess the link between agritourism and job creation, handicraft sales, living standard, and governmental support. The study also aims to explore the mediating role of governmental support in the link between agritourism and job creation, handicraft sales, and living standards. To meet the aim of the study, a survey was constructed to collect data from agritourism workers in Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Four hundred eighty-three questionnaires were issued, but only 313 were analyzed. The results indicated that agritourism was significantly and positively linked with job creation, handicraft sales, living standards, and governmental support. The results also revealed that governmental support significantly and positively correlates with job creation, handicraft sales, and living standards. Moreover, the results concluded that governmental support plays a partial mediating role in the link between agritourism and job creation, handicraft sales, and living standard. Theoretical implications for developing agritourism studies, as well as practical implications, are provided for owners, consultants, and policymakers of small-scale tourism businesses in rural areas.
