In this context, gastronomy tourism is regarded as one of the new trends in international tourism. Having hosted a large number of civilizations throughout the history, Turkey is accepted today as one the countries having the richest cuisines in the world. However, the efforts to transfer that gastronomic diversity to future generations are still limited in Turkey. In this study, gastronomy museums were focused on and a gastronomy museum was suggested to be established for Gümüşhane province. It is expected that the determinations revealed in the study will be a model also for other regions of Turkey and lead the way to transfer the gastronomic assets of Turkey to future generations.","PeriodicalId":34846,"journal":{"name":"Turizam","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71150322","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}

As the web 2.0 came in, online reviews platforms grew up and started significantly influencing the travel behavior in the last years, including gastronomy. The largest platform is Tripadvisor.com. With respect to worldwide usage and importance of Tripadvisor.com in the tourism sector, this was chosen as a base for the research of restaurant reviews. This study aims to identify whether there are differences in the satisfaction level with the restaurants between language groups. Prague is the top highlight of the tourism offer of the Czech Republic. The capital is also a leader in regards to quality and luxury services, gastronomy is no exception. According to Tripadvisor.com, there are almost 120 restaurants offering fine dining and most of them offer a good quality according to the reviews. This type of restaurants for the high-end customers was analyzed to identify the most demanding language groups and the less critical language groups. The German, Spain, Italian, French and Czech language were analyzed. With some limitations, we can assign the language to a nationality. The average evaluation for each language is calculated and the statistical tests are made to confirm the findings.","PeriodicalId":34846,"journal":{"name":"Turizam","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71150462","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 protection of biological, spatial and cultural values is imperative for sustainable tourist destinations to attract consumers. In a tourism analysis, natural attractions and the environment of a tourist destination are vital components of development. When choosing a travel destination, the consumer’s perspective affects the comparative advantage of the destination on the global tourism market, its reputation, its potential to attract and retain tourists, the quality of life and the standard of living of local residents, as well as potential investments. The paper aims to examine the environmental component as a strategic determinant of the development of a tourist destination. The paper investigates the many factors affecting the decisions of the management of a destination and looks in more detail at the pressures put by tourism activities on the eco-systems of travel destinations, which accelerate and intensify the consumption of destination values.","PeriodicalId":34846,"journal":{"name":"Turizam","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71150525","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 study sample consisted of 1075 adolescents who were enrolled in the \"Family and Children of Ukraine\" birth cohort study. They self reported how they prefer to spend their leisure time as well as their smoking, drinking, and sexual behaviors. The adolescents also completed the revised Eysenck Personality Inventory (EPI). Engagement in tourism was not associated with smoking or alcohol use. It was associated with ever having had sexual relations (OR=1.63; p=0.022) and with having had recent sexual relations (OR=1.67; p=0.037). These associations were stronger for males than females. Adolescents who had ever had sexual relations and those who had recent sexual relations had significantly higher extraversion scores on the EPI than adolescents who had not (18.16 vs 16.65; p=0.002 and 18.45 vs 16.72; p = 0.002, respectively). In multivariable analyses, ever having sexual relations and having recent sexual relations were significantly associated with male gender, age, and marginally associated with extraversion, but not with tourism. The authors conclude that among Ukrainian adolescents, the association between engagement in tourism and sexual behavior is mediated by personality, specifically higher extraversion.","PeriodicalId":34846,"journal":{"name":"Turizam","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71150086","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}

Such competition applies not only to products and businesses, but also to cities, states and destinations. In this context, branding plays an important role in the marketing of cities and states. With its unique natural, historical and cultural assets, Turkey has a number of cities eligible for city branding. Turkish city of Kastamonu, one of the candidates for city branding, boasts a number of cultural assets which drive the tourism sector in the city. The aim of this study was to measure the Kastamonu University, Faculty of Tourism students’ perception of city brand associated with the city of Kastamonu. A total number of 505 questionnaires were completed by the university students and the data collected was analyzed using a statistics software suite; frequencies, percentages, means, factor analysis, t-test, and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used for data processing. As a result, a total number of seven dimensions were found with respect to the students’ perception of Kastamonu as a city brand. Statistically significant differences were found between parameters such as age and gender of the students, years of academic study, income, place of origin, previous knowledge of the city, first impression of the city and current opinion about the city and these dimensions.","PeriodicalId":34846,"journal":{"name":"Turizam","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71150508","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}
