Resumo: | Culinary tourism is becoming an emergent alternative to mass tourism. In the literature, different motivations have been recognized to affect the choice of tourists to experience local food. Taking this into consideration, the purpose of this study is to understand the motivational factors that lead to the consumption of local food and beverages in the geographical setting of Portugal. To test this, a modified version of Kim and Eves (2012) motivational scale was used. Data was collected via an online survey from domestic and international tourists who have been to Portugal in the past, and 190 responses were obtained, from which 162 were considered valid. The data were analysed using the statistical software IBM SPSS, and multivariate regression analysis was used to determine if the seven variables in question influenced the frequency of consumption of local gastronomy in Portugal. The results revealed that cultural experience, excitement, interpersonal relationships, sensory appeal, health concerns and prestige are all motivational factors that lead to the consumption of local food, while social and environmental sustainability is not found to motivate tourists. The present study has interesting implications for managers and marketers working within the food and tourism industry. |

Na literatura, foram reconhecidas diferentes motivações que influenciam a escolha dos turistas a experimentar e provar a comida local. Tendo isto em consideração, este estudo propõe-se a compreender os fatores motivacionais que levam ao consumo de alimentos e bebidas locais no contexto geográfico de Portugal. Para testar isto, foi utilizada uma versão modificada da escala motivacional de Kim & Eves (2012). Os dados foram recolhidos através de um inquérito online administrado a turistas nacionais e internacionais que visitaram Portugal no passado, e foram obtidas 190 respostas, das quais 162 foram consideradas válidas. Os dados foram analisados utilizando o software estatístico IBM SPSS, e a análise de regressão multivariada foi utilizada para determinar se as sete variáveis em questão têm influência na frequência do consumo da gastronomia local em Portugal. Os resultados revelam que a experiência cultural, entusiasmo, relações interpessoais, apelo sensorial, preocupações de saúde e prestígio são fatores motivadores que levam ao consumo de alimentos locais, enquanto a sustentabilidade social e ambiental não é suportada como motivação para o consumo. O presente estudo tem implicações interessantes para os gestores e marketers que trabalham na indústria alimentar e turística.2022-04-28T08:26:16Z2021-12-22T00:00:00Z2021-12-22info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10773/33749engMoura, Ana Isabel Pintoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-02-22T12:04:55Zoai:ria.ua.pt:10773/33749Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T03:05:05.875465Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
