Özet

Gastronomi deneyimi, yemek tüketimini kapsayan ancak bununla sınırlı olmayan duyusal, duygusal, zihinsel ve sosyal boyutlarıyla kapsamlı bir olgudur. Buna rağmen mevcut çalışmaların büyük bir çoğunluğu, yemek deneyimini sayılabilir nesnelere, öğelere ve birtakım özelliklere indirgemektedir. Gastronomi deneyimi temel olarak turistlerin seyahatleri esnasında gastronomik ürünlerle ve faaliyetlerle bağlantılı deneyimlerini ifade etmektedir. Gastronomi alanyazınında, gastronomik deneyimlerin ortak yaratımını ve ortak tasarımını analiz eden çalışmaların sayısı oldukça azdır. Bu çalışmayla alanyazındaki bu boşluğa dikkat çekmek, yerel gastronomik ürünlerin ve gastronomi deneyimlerinin paket turlarda nasıl kullanıldığını ve ne kadar yer tuttuğunu tespit etmek amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla veri toplama tekniklerinden doküman incelemesine başvurulmuştur. Tur şirketlerine ait web sitelerinden elde edilen toplam 368 tur programının analizinde ise içerik analizi kullanılmıştır. Bulgulara göre gastronomik içerikli turlara TUI UK’de, Thomas Cook’tan daha fazla ağırlık verilmektedir ve turlarda en çok turistlerin aktif katılımını gerektiren aktivitelere, en az özel etkinliklere yer verilmektedir.  Buna karşın turistlerin daha pasif olarak yer aldığı bina/yapı, arazi ziyaretleri tur programlarında daha baskın şekilde yer almaktadır.
