This study aims to understand the factors affecting food consumption behaviors and food preferences of Turkish tourists traveling abroad. Semi-structured interview was conducted as a data collection technique in which qualitative approach was adopted in the study. The data obtained from the interviews were analyzed by content analysis method. Interviews were conducted with twenty tourists who have traveled abroad in the last five years. Findings show that travelers’ food preferences are affected by physical, cultural and motivational factors. It is understood that the concerns of the tourists towards the destination cuisine cause them to have a negative attitude towards the local cuisine. This study has revealed that travelers seek information about the culinary culture of the destination before the travel.
