Abstract

This paper aims to approach the tourists’ affective-cognitive process in a gastronomy tourism experience, splitting experience assessment into sensorial and intellectual realms. Analysing the experiential outcomes associated with quality of life and emotional arousal and highlighting the relevance of future intentions toward the experience and the tasted gastronomic product. An empirical approach was developed. A total of 180 face-to-face questionnaires have been collected form tourists during a cheese fair. Partial least squares-structural equation modelling is used for data analysis. The results confirm the relevance of sensorial elements over intellectual ones in this kind of experiences, being both determining factors of quality of life and emotional arousal. This process leads and encourages positive behavioural intentions toward similar experiences. This study is among the first to highlight and explore the effect of specific experience’s realms and emotions on quality of life and the results of this assessment process on behavioural results, focused both toward the experience and the tasted product, in the context of gastronomic events.
探索美食体验:游客的情感、生活质量和行为意向
本文旨在探讨游客在美食旅游体验中的情感认知过程,将体验评估分为感官和智力两个领域。分析与生活质量和情感唤醒相关的体验结果,并强调未来对体验和品尝美食产品的意向的相关性。制定了一种实证方法。在奶酪展期间,共收集了 180 份游客面对面问卷。数据分析采用了偏最小二乘法结构方程模型。结果证实,在这种体验中,感官因素比智力因素更重要,既是生活质量的决定因素,也是情感唤醒的决定因素。这一过程引导并鼓励人们对类似体验产生积极的行为意向。这项研究是首次在美食活动中强调和探讨特定体验的境界和情感对生活质量的影响,以及这种评估过程对行为结果的影响。
