Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, gastronomi turlarına katılan gastro turistlerin deneyim bileşenlerini tespit etmektir. Böylelikle, gastro turistlerin deneyimlerinin daha iyi anlaşılmasını sağlayarak, destinasyon pazarlamacılarına ve yöneticilerine, gastronomik hizmetsunan işletmelere ve gastronomi turları düzenleyen paydaşlara yönelik birtakım öneriler geliştirilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, farklı gastronomi turlarına ve festivallerine katılan 35 kişi ile yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bununla birlikte, farklı gastronomi turlarına katılımcı gözlemci olarak dâhil olunmuş ve gastronomi turlarına katılan turistlerin Tripadviser internet sitesinde yapmış oldukları çevrimiçi yorumları incelenmiştir. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, gastro turistlerin deneyim bileşenlerinin 4 tema ve 25 koddan oluştuğu belirlenmiştir. Elde edilen temalar; ürüne, ilişkiye, faaliyete ve ortama dayalı deneyimlerdir.
