Phenomenon of “social entrepreneurship” has emerged as a follow up concept of entrepreneurship, as a\u0000critical issue in the context of both improvement and wellbeing of societies. Social\u0000entrepreneurship focuses on social problems rather than profit maximization and\u0000is especially important for gastronomy tourism due to the social local benefits\u0000as cultural integration and employment it brings. In order to understand the\u0000promising research areas and explore the research gap in the gastronomical\u0000social entrepreneurship applications, bibliometric analysis is chosen since studies\u0000are limited in the gastronomy tourism as well as social entrepreneurship. The research in subject area consisted on keywords that are used as search items for articles title section to select articles that are more accurate for the aim of the research. The analysis shows that there are 20 articles with the combination of related key word variations. When the methodologies of the related articles is analyzed, it is understood\u0000that qualitative research with multiple and comparative case study is chosen\u0000for almost all the related articles. The reason might be due to the\u0000characteristics of the research topic and novelty, thus, rarity of true to life\u0000gastronomical social innovation applications. This study is expected to guide\u0000future studies by providing general overview of the studies and the research\u0000gap in social entrepreneurship and gastronomy tourism.","PeriodicalId":321079,"journal":{"name":"Tourism: An international Interdisciplinary Journal","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124274665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The general\u0000objective of this research is to understand the dynamic nature of a major\u0000tourism destination image and the relationships among its components from the\u0000tourists’ perspective.\u0000This study is exploratory and\u0000descriptive. Data was collected from tourists’ surveys applied in two different\u0000moments at Istanbul: before the launching of the European Capital of Culture\u0000(ECoC) (Moment 1), and one year later, during the ECoC (Moment 2). The proposed\u0000model was estimated and tested using structural equation modelling (SEM).\u0000The comparison of data from the two\u0000moments indicates different patterns of relationships.

With this purpose, content analysis\u0000was conducted on data gathered through document reviews and interviews.
