Assessing the Awareness of Local Businesses about Hatay's UNESCO Gastronomy City Title
Keywords:
UNESCO, UNESCO Creative Cities Network, Gastronomy city, HatayAbstract
Local restaurant operators are among the key stakeholders in Hatay, which houses a large number of traditional restaurants with its rich food culture and variety. It is important that awareness of these developments along with the taking of the title "Gastronomy City" is recognized by these stakeholders. Within the scope of the UNESCO-Creative Cities Network, the aim of the study is to evaluate the awareness of the local restaurant operators regarding Hatay's taking the title of UNESCO Gastronomy City. In this context, interviews were held with semi-structured interview form with 40 local food and beverage companies. When the results obtained are evaluated, it is seen that Unesco, Creative Cities Network and Gastronomy City concepts are not well known and in this respect, introduction and informing activities are lacking. In addition, 37 out of 40 enterprises stated that they were not invited to any training or informational activities organized by the authorized bodies. Related institutions need to start informative meetings and trainings to be held at certain intervals for the local tradesmen and the public as soon as possible. Another important point is to ensure that local people, local businesses and nongovernmental organizations are involved in the decision making and strategy development process.
