There are legal, political, economic, social, and environmental links between tourism and World Heritage Areas, some straightforward but others controversial. These are examined here as aspects of a long-term, stable, but complicated, relationship. Management of small-scale mobile tourism operations is well established. It includes activities, equipment, timing, numbers, group size, marketing, fees, and permit latency. Management of large-scale fixed-site tourism infrastructure and accommodation involving private equity or operational control is more controversial. It includes legal structure of partnership arrangements, and allocation of revenues, costs, and risks. The relationship framework shows the importance of picking partners carefully and establishing mechanisms for external counseling. Research opportunities include: the marketing value of World Heritage Area (WHA) controversies; the tourism effects of In Danger declarations; funding models; and impact assessment, stakeholder roles, and co-management mechanisms, in different jurisdictions. Quantifying these effects needs large-scale compilation and comparison of case studies.

Abstract:In recent years, gastronomy has established itself as one of the key elements for the enhancement, sustainable and consolidation of tourist destinations. The aim of this paper is to contribute to the advancement of knowledge on gastronomic tourism in European countries, specifically in the analysis of the relationship between gastronomy, culture and tourism as the research focuses on the city of Córdoba, Spain. The methodology of this research involved conducting surveys with foreign travelers who were lunching or dining at various restaurants in the historic area, and these facilities were characterized by having in their gastronomic menus major typical culinary products of the city using the concept of tapas, i.e., the presentation of gastronomy through small portions of food. The results of the study indicate that the healthy component of the gastronomy represents the main dimension. Based on the detected dimensions, three types of international visitors are established (healthy-cultural tourist, cultural tourist and generic tourist) which are considered valid and useful for segmenting the market. This highlights the importance given to gastronomy by tourists as part of the cultural identity of a place and the satisfaction achieved through the gastronomy of the city of Córdoba.

“…From the management and marketing perspective, for example, there are studies on tourism motivations of experiencing local or regional distinctive food or culinary and food products, as well as their relationships with destination choice and satisfaction (Au & Law, 2002;Chang & Yuan, 2011;Everett, 2009Everett, , 2012Everett & Slocum, 2013;Kim & Eves, 2012;Smith & Costello, 2009;Su, 2013). Instead, the cultural and sociological approach focuses on food experience as a process of deeper cultural and social learning and understanding of a society and its culture, as it is considered as exploration of cultural identity of a place (Alonso, 2013;Bessi ere, 2013;Cohen & Avieli, 2004;Gyim othy & Mykletun, 2009;Hillel et al, 2013;Staiff & Bushell, 2013).…”

“…More recently, food tourism literature has experienced a shift from the management to the cultural perspective that has its intrinsic emphasis on cultural exploration and learning through food experience (see, for example, Bessi ere, 2013; Daugstad & Kirchengast, 2013;Gyim othy & Mykletun, 2009;Hillel, Belhassen, & Shani, 2013;Horng & Tsai, 2012;Staiff & Bushell, 2013). They highlight that food tourism is not the consumption of food itself but the experience of its culture, as Gyim othy and Mykletun (2009, p. 260) suggest that food experience in a tourism destination provides a 'sensory window .…”

This study aims to examine the extent to which and how a regional daily humble food and foodways as a signifier of local and regional identities contributes to the regeneration and rejuvenation of the region through food tourism in Japan. Within an exploratory case study mode, the research context focuses on Japanese udon noodles, and the geographical focus of the study is Kagawa prefecture located in the island of Shikoku. The findings suggest that the historical, social and cultural significance of udon noodles production and consumption in Kagawa is the centre of local and regional identities, which in fact resulted in the creation of a new tourism trend, the so-called udon tourism, among Japanese domestic tourists. Implications for future research will be suggested.
