Abstract

The purpose of this study is to reveal how to perceive and plan gastronomic events in terms of tourism developments of rural areas. In the study in which the qualitative research approach is adopted, the research data is obtained through a document review. As a result of the findings from the literature review carried out for the gastronomic events which are regularly arranged in rural parts of Canada and America, strategic planning suggestions have been given about how food culture can be utilized in rural parts of Turkey. Consequently, it is concluded that the evaluation of cultural and gastronomic attractions with rural scale activities is important in terms of touristic development of these areas. It is also emphasized that these activities should be
supplemented by various complementary activities such as walking, climbing, cycling, angling and it is necessary to make the farmers, tradesmen and local people conscious of the planning and execution of activities.

Kırsal Turizm Planlaması Kapsamında Gastronomi Turizminin Değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

Modern
turistlerin talep ve beklentilerinin farkında olan kırsal destinasyonlar sahip
oldukları otantik ürün ve potansiyelleri çeşitli etkinlikler düzenleyerek bir
plan dahilinde turizm piyasasına sunmaktadır. Bilindiği üzere bireylerin
seyahatleri süresince tercih ettikleri turistik faaliyetler arasında yemek
yemek ilk sıralarda gelmektedir. Dolayısıyla yiyecek içecek kültürünün kırsal
alanların pazarlanmasındaki önemi yadsınamaz. Çalışmanın amacı kırsal alanların sürdürülebilir
turizm gelişimleri açısından gastronomi etkinliklerinin nasıl algılanması ve
planlanması gerektiğini ortaya koymaktır. Bu amaçla, kırsal turizm, kırsal
turizm planlaması ve gastronomi kavramlarına teorik ve kavramsal bir bakış
açıyla ilgili ulusal ve uluslararası alan yazın taraması yapılmıştır. Çalışmada
ayrıca Kanada ve Amerika kırsallarında düzenli olarak yapılan gastronomi
etkinlikleri incelenmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular sonucunda Türkiye
kırsallarında yemek kültüründen nasıl yararlanılabileceği hususunda stratejik
planlama önerileri verilmiştir.
