Keywords:
Cultural heritage, Tourism, Kyrgyz Cuisine, Tourism students, AwarenessAbstract
Authentic products and cultural elements are increasing values in terms of tourism and they are the main targets in tourists' selection of destinations. Cuisines, a cultural element, are an important source of cultural tourism and have become extremely effective in selecting tourists destinations. Local cuisine, which preserves authentic features and sheds light on the civilization of the societies from past to present, is very important for tourism. For this reason, local cuisine is an important marketing element for countries that want to attract tourists. In order for national kitchens to be regarded as touristic products, first it is necessary for the public to have awareness about the touristic value of their kitchens and to be aware of the marketing of local kitchens for touristic purposes. People who do not know their own touristic resources, we could not expect them usşng these resources for tourism purposes. Based on the results of present study, It is observed that the awareness level of Kyrgyz students about Kyrgyz kitchen is high, and the tasting and enjoyment rates of Kyrgyz kitchen products are also very high. The students approve Besparmak and boorsok as symbolic foods to represent Kyrgyz cuisine in gastronomic tourism. Furthermore it is seen that the motivation of students for vacation is also very high.
