Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate community-based gastronomic tourism in Satun province, Thailand, regarding the management for zero food waste, both by the entrepreneurs’ and by the tourists’ evaluations. Face-to-face interviews were done with 12 representative respondents from six community-based gastronomic tourism sites, and self-administered or on-line questionnaires were used by quota sampling with 402 representative tourists visiting these six community-based gastronomic tourism areas. 11 quantitative indicators of zero food waste management were analyzed, and it was found that ‘Tonpanan-Bornamron’ received high scores both from self-evaluation (mean = 4.50) and from the tourists (mean = 4.21, total mean = 4.36).
