Gastronomy tourism, Local food, Bibliometric analysisAbstract
The aim of this study is to systematically evaluate studies on local food in the gastronomy tourism literature. The research aims to shed light on the future of the relevant literature by examining the history of studies on gastronomy, tourism and local food. This exploratory study utilizes bibliometric analysis to present a general overview of scientific research on local food in gastronomy tourism. Research data was obtained by coding the keywords “gastronomy tourism” and “local food” in the WOS database. A total of 406 studies were examined in terms of content and structure. The WOS database and VOSviewer program were used to obtain the findings. The findings of the research show that these topics of gastronomic tourism and local food began to attract the attention of researchers as of 2019. The studies examined frequently cite high-impact studies, and topics such as culture and sustainability are frequently used as common keywords. The current state of the literatüre suggests that in the future, studies integrating technology with issues related to the use of local food in gastronomy tourism may be accepted.
