Abstract

Food is always seen as an integral part of tourism. Especially in recent years, with the increasing competition between destinations, local cuisines have gained vital importance and have become part of the tourism strategies. In many cities around the world, local cuisine consisting of local products are used in city promotions and are a part of marketing strategies. The city of Izmir has a very rich cuisine due to its geographic position and many civilizations living in the region. However, although Izmir has a well-established and rich kitchen, it is not benefiting from the rich culinary culture adequately. Izmir cuisine is not positioned as a tourist attraction, and local dishes are not properly advertised. For this reason, a survey is conducted with the residents of İzmir, one of the stakeholders of the tourism sector, in order to identify products that may be a signature for Izmir.

Özet

Yemek, turizmin ayrılmaz bir parçası olarak görülmektedir. Özellikle son yıllarda, destinasyonlar arasında artan rekabet ile birçok destinasyonda yerel yemeklerin ön plana çıkarıldığı ve yerel mutfağın turizm stratejilerinin bir parçası haline geldiği görülmektedir. Dünya çapında birçok şehrin tanıtımlarında yerel ürünlerden oluşan yerel mutfaklarına yer verilmekte ve bu yemekler turistlere özellikle tanıtılmaktadır. İzmir mutfağı hem coğrafi koşulları hem de bölgede yaşayan birçok medeniyete ev sahipliği yapmış olması sebebi ile çok zengin bir mutfak haline gelmiştir. Ancak, İzmir’in köklü ve zengin bir mutfağa sahip olmasına rağmen, bu zengin mutfak kültüründen yeterince faydalanılamadığı görülmektedir. İzmir mutfağı bir çekicilik unsuru olarak kullanılamamakta ve yerel yemekler tanıtımlarda çok az yer almaktadır. Bu sebeple, İzmir için simge olabilecek ürünlerin belirlenmesi amacıyla turizm sektörünün paydaşlarından biri olan yerel halk ile bir anket düzenlenmiştir. Bu kapsamda, İzmir halkına, İzmir’de ne yenebileceği ve içilebileceği yönünde sorular sorulmuş ve İzmir’in simgesi olabilecek ürünlerin belirlenmesi hedeflenmiştir
