| description | This study explores the influence of culinary nostalgia on tourist behaviour, offering a
detailed analysis of how this psychological factor, combined with others, shapes tourists'
preferences. The research employs quantitative methods, relying on network analysis applied
to data collected from a sample of 535 participants. The results demonstrate that culinary
nostalgia plays a significant role in triggering memories related to past food experiences and
cultural heritage, directly influencing travel decisions. Additionally, the study highlights that
the perception of service quality contributes to increasing tourist engagement in culinary
tourism through a complex mechanism mediated by three factors: culinary attractor, culinary
nostalgia, and culinary socialisation. These complex interactions between service quality and
psychological factors influence tourist participation, offering new perspectives on how tourist
destinations can leverage nostalgia and service quality to promote sustainable and cultural
tourism. These results indicate that adopting a nostalgic-cultural strategy, together with
offering top-notch services, can greatly improve tourist experiences and promote
sustainability in culinary tourism. Therefore, this study enhances the existing body of
knowledge by emphasising the need to include emotional aspects and improvement of service
quality in strategies for developing tourism. |
