What is Gastronomic Tourism

Chapter 18
Handbook of Research on Management of Cultural Products: E-Relationship Marketing and Accessibility Perspectives
Recently, an increasing emphasis has also been placed on experiences and attractions related to food. Food tourism - an example of culinary tourism - has been defined as “visits to food producers, food festivals, restaurants and specific locations where the taste of food and/or experience of the specificity of typical food products are the main reasons for the trip” ( Hall & Mitchell, 2001 ). This form of tourism is further enriched by participation in cooking courses and/or visits to companies that manufacture traditional products (this is, for example, the case for wine tourism, which increasingly tends to combine tastings, training courses and visits to wineries and wine companies).

Abstract
This chapter analyses how cultural heritage destinations should evolve to keep pace with changes in the demand for cultural tourism. The empirical evidence shows that the most important heritage destinations suffer from a misalignment of their value propositions with respect to the new needs of cultural tourists. These types of gaps can be filled only by understanding the features and evolution of these needs and by identifying sustainable strategic paths to enrich the typical offering of these heritage destinations. This chapter proposes a theoretical framework that combines the most relevant trends in cultural tourism from a demand and an offering perspective. The Pompeii case is subsequently analyzed through the lens of the proposed theoretical framework.
