“…Bessière, 2001;Chevrier, 2011) suggest that culinary assets and tradition are regarded as elements of local and national culture. In the last two decades cuisine has become a primary factor in influencing travel behaviour and decision-making Mitchell and Hall, 2003), and culinary-related elements have become part of the overall attractiveness of a destination and the tourism experience (Long, 2004;Hall and Mitchell, 2005;Kalkstein-Silkes et al, 2008). Nevertheless, this market should not be overestimated; it has been pointed out that consuming food may not be representative of a niche segment.…”

“…Every destination should provide valuable experiences and tourism operators should devote their resources to catering for their guests through their offerings (Middleton, 2001;Soteriades, 2012). Furthermore, the consumption of food and drink is an important part of contemporary lifestyles, often indicating social status and the extent of cultural capital (Long, 2004;Scott, 2006). It should therefore not be surprising that specific forms of culinary consumption have also become an important part of tourism (Hall and Mitchell, 2005).…”

“…As previous literature suggests, people who are involved with food-related activities are more likely to become culinary tourists (Long, 2004;Mitchell & Hall, 2002). Social media sites with such a specific theme could provide the opportunity for the DMOs to buy advertising space on the sites that promote a culinary experience.…”

“…Within a destination, food is interpreted as the "core manifestation of a destination's intangible heritage" (Okumus, Okumus, & McKercher, 2007, p. 253) and has been incorporated into different destination marketing strategies (Ab Karim & Chi, 2010;Du Rand & Heath, 2006;Okumus et al, 2007). For tourists, food plays a role within cultural tourism (Scarpato, 2002) and has become one of the main travel motivators in recent years (Boniface, 2003;Long, 2004;Okumus et al, 2007;Quan & Wang, 2004).…”

This article presents the results of an exploratory study in the online image-sharing community Flickr. The purpose of this study was to profile the users who are fond of online food photography as well as to explore the role of online food photography in their traveling planning process. Grounded in "uses and gratification theory," a mixed method was adopted for this research. Content analysis was employed to understand members' general motivation to participate in different online food photography activities. A series of chi-square and independent-sample t tests was conducted to determine if significant differences existed between active members and not-as-active members. Results of the quantitative and qualitative analyses supported each other. The findings indicated that factors of entertainment, personal identity, and social interaction were the main drivers of participation in online food photography activities. It was further revealed that participants' tourism experiences were recorded as personal photography but shared socially through the use of social media. For active members, food images influenced them in terms of novelty and providing information. Active members also appeared to be more likely to seek out new places to travel for new food experiences, and food photography had a greater influence on where they consider traveling. On the basis of the results, implications for culinary tourism promotion and destination marketing were discussed.

“…In addition, exploring Cafe Indiana alongside other regional and national roadfood guides (e.g., Willard 2008) could jumpstart conversations about the dynamics of culture, the role of the ethnographer as authenticator, and the implications of culinary tourism (cf. Long 2003). After all, when Stuttgen began her research, one of her framing questions was "How do small things survive?"…”
