The review and synthesis of 60 quantitative, qualitative, and mixed studies conducted between 2015 and 2024 revealed that the study of Memorable Gastro-Tourism Experiences is nascent but active. The primary focus of research lies within aspects such as sensory and authentic experiences, togetherness, social interaction and local culture, esthetics and servicescape, cognitive engagement, gastronomic novelty and curiosity, hedonism and meaningfulness, and hospitable service experiences, mainly. Behavioral intentions emerged as the most studied consequence, but emerging components and effects were also identified. SEM and deductive content analysis methods were primarily used. This revealed high heterogeneity and lack of consensus, indicative of the phenomenon's early yet active research state. The findings propose a conceptual framework of Memorable Gastro-Tourism Experiences as theoretical contributions. Practical implications and future research directions were proposed as well.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34520,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Tourism Research Empirical Insights","volume":"5 2","pages":"Article 100158"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142654613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Try Before You Fly enabled disabled children and their families to practice all the steps of the airport experience, such as check-in, security departure lounge and access to a grounded aircraft, using an approach underpinned by behaviour analytic practices. Six months after the event, 21 parents and five children completed a questionnaire about the event.

Results indicate that dark rides are primarily appreciated for their ability to generate here-and-now experiences, characterized by imagery, imagery-based states, and emotions.
