“…The food culture of Istanbul, its presentation and taste, always bring Istanbul to the fore. Many tourism destinations worldwide also put a lot of emphasis on food activities and create gastronomic/culinary experiences to attract international visitors (Jeaheng and Han, 2020, p. 642). The cuisine of the city presents many delicious and exotic dishes that belong to many different ethnic groups and civilisations.…”

“…Privitera and Nesci says that street food is more of a necessity than a fashion because it is so cheap, and, at the same time, it provides the opportunity to discover new places and get in touch with unknown cultures and places (Privitera and Nesci, 2015, p. 718). Jeaheng and Han (2020) investigated the attributes of street foods and tourist behaviour behaviour in Thailand, which has many original foods as Turkey. As the study tried to identify the attributes of street foods and test them on tourist behaviour, it also provides some findings about the effect of behavioural intentions on Thai street food.…”

PurposeThe aim of the study is to determine the effect of street food experience on behavioural intention and to determine the relationship between the street food experiences and behavioural intention.Design/methodology/approachIn this research, a quantitative research method and a structured questionnaire form are used. The author has used a 48-item questionnaire. The questionnaire contains three categories. In the first section of the questionnaire form, there were 14 questions to determine gender, education, age, income state and demographic findings of the participants. In other sections, a Likert scale with 5 points (strongly agree–strongly disagree) was used.FindingsIt was found that street food experience affects behavioural intention and also there is a significant positive relationship between street food and behavioural intention. The research includes constructive propositions for many institutions and organisations such as local businesses and local governments. In spite of the shortcomings of basic research about the impact of the street food experience on behavioural intention of the tourist, there is still some need of other with a wider sample and different studies to understand the impacts of street food experience. In addition, future studies can focus on the relationship between street food experience and food culture.Originality/valueIn tourism literature, there are so many research studies that examine tourist experience. Many of these studies are about the relationships between food and cultural experience. Nevertheless, no study has been conducted on similar relationships between street food and behavioural intentions in the literature. There are also some other studies that discuss different types of tourism experience. However, there has not been found any research on tourist experience of street food. In prior studies, rather than street food impacts on experience, food impacts on tourist experience have been emphasised. In this way, this study is important in terms of contributing both qualitative and quantitative studies.

“…Researchers argued that being involved in food experiences can increase the knowledge and understanding of tourists (Liu et al, 2017). For instance, tourists can acquaint themselves with the culture and history of a destination by trying the local foods (Jeaheng and Han, 2020). According to the findings of Tung and Richie (2011), learning is another component of a memorable tourist experience.…”

Purpose Considering the importance of involvement in experience, this paper aims to understand what factors lead to enduring involvement and how this type of involvement influences the food experience of tourists in the restaurant context. Design/methodology/approach Twenty tourists who had a dining experience in the restaurants of Queenstown, New Zealand were interviewed using the purposive sampling method. Findings Using manual coding, 11 factors were found to contribute to enduring involvement. The findings also showed that enduing involvement influenced the food experience of tourists in a positive way including four consequences. Research limitations/implications The research is limited to the restaurants of a specific destination and the findings should be generalised with caution. It, however, contributes to the existing research on involvement and experience in the hospitality and tourism literatures. Practical implications The findings provide guidelines on how restaurateurs understand the tourists’ perceptions and evaluations of their offerings to improve the dining experiences and manage their businesses effectively. Originality/value Previous research has not offered an understanding of what factors contribute to enduring involvement in the hospitality and tourism literatures and how this involvement impacts dining experiences of tourists.

“…Toplumların bilgi, birikim, tecrübe ve yetenekleri doğrultusunda ortaya çıkan kültürel etkenler, milletleri birbirinden ayıran spesifik mutfak uygulamalarını da (pişirim teknikleri, sunum tarzları, sokak yemekleri etrafında şekillenen sözlü kültür ürünleri ve sosyal organizasyonlar) bünyelerinde barındırmaktadır. Bu durum sokak yemeklerini, farklı kültürlerin mutfak bileşenlerini keşfetme arzusunda olan turistler açısından birer cazibe unsuru haline getirmektedir (Solunoğlu ve Nazik, 2018;Jeaheng ve Han, 2020).…”

Bu çalışma, tüketicilerin sokak lezzetlerine yönelik risk ve fayda algıları ile öznel norm ve davranışsal niyetleri arasındaki ilişkileri belirlemek amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Bu amaç doğrultusunda sokak lezzetlerini deneyimleyen kişilerden anket yöntemi ile veri toplanmıştır. Kullanılabilir durumdaki veriler frekans, ortalama, standart sapma, t testi, ANOVA, korelasyon ve regresyon analizleri kullanılarak değerlendirmeye tabi tutulmuştur. Yapılan t testleri katılımcıların davranışsal niyetleri ile algılanan risk ve öznel norm düzeylerinin cinsiyete göre; algılanan fayda düzeylerinin cinsiyet ve medeni durum değişkenlerine göre farklılaştığını; ANOVA testleri ise davranışsal niyetlerin sadece gelir düzeyine göre farklılık gösterdiğini ortaya koymuştur. Öte yandan değişkenler arasındaki ilişkileri belirlemek amacıyla yapılan analizler neticesinde algılanan fayda ile öznel normlar arasında yüksek derecede; algılanan fayda ile davranışsal niyetler arasında orta derecede; davranışsal niyetler arasında düşük derecede; öznel norm ile davranışsal niyetler arasında yüksek derecede anlamlı ve pozitif yönlü ilişkiler olduğu bulgulanmıştır. Bunların yanı sıra algılanan risk ile algılanan fayda, öznel norm ve davranışsal niyetler arasında düşük derecede, anlamlı ve negatif ilişkiler olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Hipotetik modeli sınamak için yapılan regresyon analizlerinin sonuçları ise algılanan riskin algılanan fayda, öznel norm ve davranışsal niyetler üzerinde anlamlı ve negatif yönlü; algılanan faydanın davranışsal niyetler üzerinde; öznel normların davranışsal niyetler üzerinde; algılanan faydanın ise öznel normlar üzerinde anlamlı ve pozitif yönlü etkilere sahip olduğunu ortaya koymuştur.
