Resumo: | Slow food tourism has emerged as a recent topic in both the academic and the practical field. Studies reveal the role of food as a lifestyle market and a medium of cultural identification. Prior research identifies the involvement at the destination as the main goal of this new niche of tourism. However, there is limited knowledge of the current status of slow food tourism in different cities. This study, based on a sample of 206 tourists visiting the city of Valencia, develops and tests, using structural equation modeling (SEM), a conceptual model to assess the actual state of the slow food tourism within the city perceived by its tourists. Results indicate the importance of the destination image in mediating tourists satisfaction and Valencia!s competitiveness as a tourist destination, by highlighting the role of tourism motivation, involvement and touristic infrastructure on the tourist satisfaction and the destination competitiveness, mediated by the destination image that tourists hold in their minds about the place visited. Moreover, the authors also find contradictions on the variables. More specifically, study results confirm the negative relationship between tourism infrastructure, involvement and motivation regarding tourists satisfaction, which contradicts previous research. Findings of this study enrich existing literature by addressing the slow food tourism from a quantitative approach and in a new city and explore practical implications to the tourist entrepreneurs of Valencia, as well as future paths for research. |

Estudos revelam o papel da comida como um mercado de estilo de vida e um meio de identificação cultural. Pesquisas anteriores identificam o envolvimento com o local de destino como o principal objetivo nesse novo nicho de turismo. No entanto, há conhecimento limitado no status atual do turismo slow food em diferentes cidades. Este estudo, baseado em uma amostra de 206 turistas visitando a cidade de Valência, desenvolve e testa, usando modelagem por equações estruturais, um modelo conceitual para avaliar o atual estado do turismo slow food em cidades de acordo com a percepção de seus turistas. Os resultados indicam a importância da imagem do destino em mediar a satisfação dos turistas e a competitvidade de Valência como um destino turístico, trazendo destaque o papel da motivação do turismo, o envolvimento e a infraestrutura turística na satisfação do turista e na competitividade do destino, mediado pela imagem do destino que os turistas mantém na cabeça sobre o lugar visitado. Além disso, os autores encontram contradições nas variáveis. Mais especificamente, os resultados da pesquisa confirmam a relação negativa entre a infraestrutura turística, envolvimento e motivação levando em consideração a satisfação dos turistas, o que contradiz pesquisas anteriores. As descobertas presentes nessa pesquisa enriquece a literatura existente ao tratar do turismo slow food de uma forma quantitativa em uma nova cidade e explora implicações práticas aos empreendedores do turismo de Valência, além de criar futuros caminhos para pesquisas.2022-10-14T09:10:58Z2022-10-13T00:00:00Z2022-10-132022-06info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10071/26289TID:203076427engReyes Pradas, Laurainfo: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:RCAAP2023-11-09T17:35:37Zoai:repositorio.iscte-iul.pt:10071/26289Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T22:16:06.351986Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
