Abstract
This study explores the complex relationship between food tourism and tourist motivations, acknowledging that visitors' food choices are dual, acting as a source of enjoyment and food choices. Across the range of visitor interests, some have a passing interest in food, while others view local food and dining experiences as essential parts of their vacation experiences. Comprehending the complexity of culinary tourism demands a multidisciplinary approach. Research uses a mix of qualitative and quantitative methods to analyse researchers work and the method providing insight into the range of interests and driving forces that influence food-related preferences.
