THE IMPORTANCE OF TRADITION AND FOLK CUSTOMS IN CULINARY TOURISM
Journal Title: INTERCATHEDRA - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 34
Abstract
Culinary tourism enjoys a growing popularity worldwide. In each country, the gastronomy culture affects the whole society, because national traditions and culinary customs are independent from the level of income. The so-called “international cuisine” is also based on, and consists of, the distinctive dishes of separate and easily recognizable national gastronomy traditions. As a result, the general taste of people worldwide is also affected by local traditions, culinary heritage and region-specific recipes. In global tourism, there is a growing need for novelty, and culinary tourism has a huge potential to address that demand. Similarly to other types of tourism, culinary tourists seek unique experiences and custom-made services. With regard to the aspects of gastronomy, until now, mass tourism has mainly focused on universal solutions like international “fast food” franchise systems or – as an opposite – international “fine dining” catering. The participants of culinary tourism have their own preferences that are clearly distinctive from the processes of mass tourism and may also be impacted by other forms of tourism. In countries with a developed tourism industry, culinary tourism plays an important role in complementing heritage and rural tourism, offering an enhanced experience to visitors. In countries with developing tourism, unique gastronomy offerings can contribute to a deliberate introduction of local customs and traditions, and – with targeted marketing – can easily be developed into independent tourism offerings.
