Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the effects of artificial intelligence technologies, especially ChatGPT, on gastronomy tourism. ChatGPT is used as a chatbot developed by OpenAI and can respond to natural language inputs. Through an interview with ChatGPT, the study explores how ChatGPT transforms gastronomy and how it makes gastronomy tourism accessible, personalised and effective. The findings reveal that innovative technologies such as digital platforms, mobile applications, virtual reality and augmented reality provide opportunities for tourists to learn about local cuisines and offer interactive experiences. GPT technology plays an important role in promoting gastronomy tourism to a wider audience by being used in areas such as food recommendations, restaurant guide services and trend analyses. However, challenges such as data accessibility, cultural sensitivity and language barriers require the technology to be applied in a sensitive and compatible manner with local gastronomy. In conclusion, this study aims to provide important information in the field of gastronomy tourism by examining the strategic role of gastronomy in tourism and the contributions of artificial intelligence technologies, especially GPT, to this sector in depth.
