“…For young tourists, as expected, the opportunity to "enjoy the atmosphere at the festival" and "have fun" are extremely important reasons why they visit gastronomic festivals. Dimitrovski et al (2021) identified that the quality of food and the program content of the event are the main drivers of satisfaction for young tourists who attend slow food festivals. On the other hand, social status and, above all, "gaining popularity among friends and family" are the least important motives for attending rural gastronomic festivals.…”

“…Most of the research on gastronomic festivals so far has been conducted on a sample of older respondents, while young tourists were mostly neglected. However, a study by Dimitrovski et al (2021), conducted in the context of slow food festivals, discovered that young tourists are also interested in gastronomic festivals and that their motivation differs significantly from the motivation of older tourists. The taste, experience, social status, change, people, family, and inspiration dimensions, which were discovered by Park et al (2008) as the most important motives for visiting gastronomic festivals, will be used in this study to gain knowledge about the primary motives of young tourists to visit rural gastronomic festivals in the Republic of Serbia.…”

This study aims to examine the motivation of young tourists to attend gastronomic festivals in rural areas in the Republic of Serbia. In addition, it seeks to find out whether their motivation differs depending on their knowledge of and interest in gastronomy. The research was conducted on a sample of 125 respondents. The collected data was analyzed through the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS 20), using descriptive statistics, the K-means clustering multivariate grouping technique, and nonparametric statistical procedures (Kruskal-Wallis H test and Mann-Whitney U test). The results have shown that the opportunity to try new and varied foods, as well as enjoying the atmosphere at the festival, are the main motives for young tourists to attend gastronomic festivals in rural areas in the Republic of Serbia. Additionally, it was discovered that the gastronomic motifs of young tourists are different and conditioned by their knowledge of and interest in gastronomy.

“…It thus becomes a way to get in touch with the historical heritages of a territory and its community, consolidating the relationship between the "typical" local community, territory and tourist, historicizing and consolidating this relationship. As several authors have pointed out, the triad of food, places and communities is enriched by the spread of festivals and special events (Frost & Laing, 2013;Silkes et al, 2013;Dimitrovski et al, 2021), which they play a significant role in stimulating local economies as the activities and experiences that attract tourists favor job opportunities for local communities (Cafiero et al, 2019). Such events can therefore represent a development opportunity for a territory and create income and employment through a virtuous chain that involves all operators who, for various reasons, come into play in the agri-food, food and wine and tourism system.…”

Para la mayor parte de las zonas serranas, montañosas y del interior, los productos agroalimentarios locales y típicos representan una importante herramienta para generar ingresos, garantizar la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional, dando respuesta a las necesidades humanas básicas y al deseo de mejorar la calidad de vida. La supervivencia de estas áreas está fuertemente ligada a la persistencia de estos productos, que, además de tener que ser rentables para las comunidades que los producen y que viven de ellos, también deben imponerse en el marco de la competitividad que imponen los mercados. De hecho, sucede que, para muchos de ellos, si bien las condiciones de producción garantizan la calidad y la seguridad alimentaria, no se puede decir lo mismo de su capacidad para competir con la mayoría de las producciones semi-industriales. Gracias a una encuesta a los consumidores, este estudio propone una evaluación de las relaciones entre los eventos / manifestaciones gastronómicas y vinícolas de un área de interior del sur de Italia y algunos productos alimenticios locales que se ofrecen en los puestos de comida con motivo de tales eventos. Desde el punto de vista metodológico, se optó por aplicar el “Análisis de Redes Sociales” (ARS), comparando los eventos gastronómicos, folclóricos y culturales que se detectaron en la zona y con algunos productos alimenticios locales presentes en los puestos. El área considerada es muy interesante en cuanto a los productos típicos y tradicionales, entre los que la trufa es la menos conocida y extendida, y sólo ha comenzado a consolidarse recientemente. Los resultados mostraron que algunos de los productos tomados en consideración son recurrentes, es decir, siempre presentes en los diversos eventos de la zona, otros menos. Los datos muestran el atractivo que estos eventos y jornadas gastronómicas son capaces de suscitar en los consumidores y el interés y propensión a comprar los alimentos de tradición local. En particular, los turistas buscan la experiencia de la gastronomía local y la cultura e identidad del destino visitado. El análisis de estos datos proporciona información sobre la fuerza competitiva que pueden suscitar los eventos enogastronómicos y las producciones locales. Eventos y manifestaciones como los destacados en el trabajo ayudan a preservar la identidad y la autenticidad de las tradiciones locales.
