Bodrum’a Gelen Uluslararası Ziyaretçilerin Yerel Yemek Tüketimindeki Motivasyon Faktörlerinin Değerlendirilmesi

Turistler, tatilleri boyunca yemeğe önem vermekteler ve yöresel tatları ve yöresel tatların sunduğu özgün yaşamı keşfetmek istemektedirler. Yeme- içme unsurunun sektörde hem turistler hem de uygulayıcılar için üzerinde en çok durulan ve önem oluşturan bir konu oldu olduğu söylenebilir. Bu araştırma Bodrum’a gelen uluslararası ziyaretçilerin yerel yemek tüketimindeki motivasyon faktörlerinin belirlenmesi amacı ile yapılmıştır. Araştırma kapsamında Ağustos ve Ekim 2017 tarihleri arasında Bodrum’a tatil amaçlı gelen turistlerden veri toplamak için anket tekniği kullanılmıştır. Katılımcılardan 385 adet veri toplanmış ve turistlerin yerel yemek tüketim motivasyonları analiz edilmiştir. Analiz sonuçlarına göre; yabancı turistlerin yerel yemek tüketim motivasyonlarına yönelik dört adet motivasyon faktörü belirlenmiştir. Bu faktörler “Kültürel Deneyim”, “Sosyal Etkileşim”, “Heyecan Arayışı” ve “Duyusal Çekicilik” faktörleridir.  Uluslararası ziyaretçilerin yerel yemek tüketimindeki motivasyonlarının belirlenmesi, kültürel bir unsur olan yerel yemeklerin tanıtımına, korunmasına, turistik çekim unsuru olarak sunulmasına katkı sağlayacağı ve işletmelerin bu alanda faaliyetlerini artırmalarına yönelik stratejiler geliştirmelerine fayda sağlaması beklenmektedir.
