“…Learning is the most sought experience by tourists as it adds to personal accomplishment and self-esteem (Adongo et al , 2015). In this line, memorable food experiences are valuable QOL’s enhancers and effective determinants of positive behavioural intentions (Tsai, 2016; Di-Clemente et al , 2019a, 2019b).…”

Purpose This paper aims to develop an original model in the context of food-based experiences considering new experiential variables, such as to experience quality, memorability and quality of life (QOL), and their impact on marketing outcomes, namely, satisfaction and loyalty, approached from an experience perspective. Design/methodology/approach An empirical approach has been adopted. Data have been collected through an online and a paper-and-pencil method, using an original questionnaire addressed to tourists who had a food-based experience during their recent holidays. Partial least squares-structural equation modelling is the technique used for data analysis. Findings The results confirm that local food, enjoyed through quality experiences, is a determining factor in designing memorable products, achieving tourist satisfaction, improving their QOL and encouraging loyalty to experiential food-based practices. Research limitations Results should be interpreted within the context of this research because of the use of a sample conveniently selected. Practical implications Gastronomic experiences represent a successful strategic resource for tourist destinations and professionals who want to adapt their business/destination to the new requirements of the experiential context. Originality/value To the best of authors’ knowledge, this study is first to relate the impact of memorable and quality culinary experiences on the QOL of tourists, chasing, as a final result, loyal intentions towards a specific kind of experience (culinary) rather than towards the destination.

“…resident consumers, international visitors, restaurateurs or suppliers (Alonso et al , 2018). Many studies focus on tourists, understanding their behaviours and expectations and providing a useful cross-cultural management tool for culinary tourism operators (Choe and Kim, 2019; Cohen and Avieli, 2004; Di-Clemente et al , 2019; Vu et al , 2019). For example, westerners are increasingly in search for new cuisine, while most Asians avoid international food.…”

“…Additionally, tourists’ involvement has a positive effect on visitors’ loyalty (Kim et al , 2010), and it is an essential element capable to deliver memorability to gastronomic tourists (Di-Clemente et al , 2019). Williams et al (2019) highlight that memorability is characterised by the following seven features: deliberate and incidental gastro-tourists; travel stages (planning, traveling, experiencing or reflecting); foodie risk-taking; interdependent co-created tourist-host relationships; authenticity; sociability; and emotions. …”

Purpose This paper aims to pinpoint the technological transformation impact on food as the cultural phenomenon for destination brand identity and management as the novel approach for the stakeholder causal scope (SCS) analysis in culinary tourism. Thus, this paper attempts to answer the following research question: What is the role of technological transformation in addressing stakeholder engagement of culinary tourism? Design/methodology/approach The research is based on the systematic two-decade literature review of technological transformation for SCS analysis in culinary tourism. This paper adopted a longitudinal study of ABS2018 list – 2-, 3-, 4- and 4*-star journal articles, collecting literature within the field “sector” and Scopus databases as relevant source to collect articles. Findings Following the current severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2 emergency to move certain industries to digital space, including culinary tourism, the main findings are directed to advance technological transformation knowledge in culinary tourism to extend the existing framework on SCS. Originality/value The novelty of this research is confirmed with the contemporary call for technological transformation in culinary tourism assuming that SCS analysis allows examining the status quo and explores future research agenda and practical implications in post-Covid era.

“…Experiential tourism motivates the tourists to always seek new destinations as well as more and more new experiences [58]. This is a relatively new approach, emphasizing the importance of searching for new impulses [59]. This new paradigm considers tourism as an opportunity for personal development and satisfaction of inherent human curiosity.…”

This study aims to examine the relationships between the experiential consumption, the social environment, and intention to revisit. The mediating role of involvement in the experience between experiential consumption and the intention to revisit and between the social environment and the intention to revisit has been expressed and tested. The data for this research was collected from local tourists staying in guesthouses scattered all over Tunisia. The authors applied structural partial least squares equation modeling to analyze 259 questionnaires completed by participants and to test the hypotheses. The authors found a positive and direct effects of the social environment on involvement in the experience while experiential consumption did not. In addition, the results indicated positive and significant indirect effects for the social environment on the intention to revisit through involvement in the experience. The results do not support a mediating role of involvement in experience on the relationship of experiential consumption and intention to revisit. In addition, the results showed a strong and positive effect of involvement in the experience on intention to revisit. This research makes a distinctive theoretical contribution to the literature of perceived experiential value by analyzing the relationships between experiential consumption and the social environment on experience involvement and intention to revisit a guesthouse. In addition, this study explores several practical implications of these results.
