“…Entertainment is a form of experience purely staged by service providers to capture and occupy consumers’ attention (Oh et al, 2007). Cruises, casinos, and wineries are among the many tourism settings heavily skewed toward this experiential domain (Hosany and Witham, 2010; Shim et al, 2017; Vo Thanh and Kirova, 2018) because travel is inherently entertaining (Hsieh et al, 1992). Interestingly, as indicated by the smallest number of text units in the dataset, entertainment was rarely reflected in private social dining.…”

“…Similar to Quadri-Felitti and Fiore (2012), who focused on wine experiences, Musa et al (2009) framed dining as an educational experience among cultural tourists. Later, Shim et al (2017) acknowledged dining as an esthetic experience in casinos. These distinct positions reflect features of diverse tourism activities and corroborate Mason and Paggiaro’s (2012) stance that dining plays multiple roles in the tourist experience.…”

While private social dining has emerged as a new activity in the sharing economy, associated research is limited. This study aims to conceptualize tourists’ private social dining experiences by incorporating the concept of the experience economy with the sharing economy. Thematic analysis of 29 interviews unveiled a hierarchical framework, beginning with a personalized experience and leading to sensory experience before ending with emotional experience in private social dining settings. Seven identified emotional experiential domains were then situated within a four-quadrant framework to address how private social dining can enrich the four original experiential domains of the experience economy (i.e. entertainment, education, esthetic, and escapism) to trigger tourists’ emotional pleasure. These results lay a theoretical foundation for future studies and provide practical implications for the development of food tourism.
