“…If tourists consume local food and they enjoy, it represents as a great value for sustainable tourism and the development of destinations, that experience allows them to feel deep in the culture, history, and heritage of the place and connect with the personality and way of life of its inhabitants. If they appreciate the experience of consuming these types of products, visitors not only feel deep in the culture and identity of the area, they become ambassadors of the destination and recommend it after their trip [43].…”

Culinary or gastronomic tourism has become one of the main exponents of cultural tourism and a key element of a destination’s image identity. Since travellers consult and produce online travel reviews (OTR) before and during a trip, this research aims to provide and implement a framework for analysing OTRs of dining establishments to measure their contribution to destination image formation in their designative (cognitive) and appraisive (affective and evaluative) aspects. To do this, a website was selected from which to download OTRs, extract useful information from the textual and paratextual elements, build a keyword frequency matrix, and perform a quantitative and thematic content analysis. This method was applied to a random sample of 500,000 OTRs from the TripAdvisor restaurants section, written in English, between 2013 and 2017, by tourists visiting the Canary Islands. Results show that, although the gastronomic image of the destination is positive in general, the local and regional gastronomy representative of the community’s sociocultural identity is not the most popular nor the best valued in tourists’ comments. This research shows a method to measure the main aspects that make up the gastronomic image of a destination and that allow for extracting insights and business intelligence through big data from user-generated content.

“…Li et al (2020) pointed out that short videos about food as well as the description of prepared dishes shown in the videos influence the greater interest of tourists in the destination, which further positively reflects on the destination image. Also, Madaleno et al (2019) point out that the previous experience related to the gastronomic offer of the destination depresses the image and repeat visits of the destination. The authors pointed out that the attributes of local products, personality traits related to food as well as the motivation to consume food during a visit to the destination are important factors that influence the future intentions of tourists.…”

Although the attractiveness of the destination is the primary factor that influences the choice of travel destination, in recent times, the tourist experience and the experience of tourists are also greatly influenced by the gastronomic offer. In addition to the fact that tourists want to spend their vacation in a pleasant and safe environment, the experience they gain by consuming the authentic gastronomic specialties of a certain area is also very important for them. So, it can be pointed out that food also has an important influence on the satisfaction of tourists. Therefore, the authors of this paper analyze the gastronomic experience of tourists on the example of Continental Croatia, on whose territory there are already profiled tourist destinations with a developed gastronomic offer. Examining the attitudes of tourists about the indicators that describe the gastronomic experience based on well-founded research and studies, the authors of the study found that tourists who stayed in the area of Continental Croatia show a high degree of satisfaction with the gastronomic experience. It has also been proven that previous gastronomic experience is positively related to the destination image of Continental Croatia.
