Uluslararası Turlarda Gastronomik Ürünler ve Gastronomi Deneyimi: TUI ve Thomas Cook Örneklerinde Ortak Deneyim Yaratımı

Öz:
Gastronomi deneyimi, yemek tüketimini kapsayan ancak bununla sınırlı olmayan duyusal, duygusal, zihinsel ve sosyal boyutlarıyla kapsamlı bir olgudur. Buna rağmen mevcut çalışmaların büyük bir çoğunluğu, yemek deneyimini sayılabilir nesnelere, öğelere ve birtakım özelliklere indirgemektedir. Gastronomi deneyimi temel olarak turistlerin seyahatleri esnasında gastronomik ürünlerle ve faaliyetlerle bağlantılı deneyimlerini ifade etmektedir. Gastronomi alanyazınında, gastronomik deneyimlerin ortak yaratımını ve ortak tasarımını analiz eden çalışmaların sayısı oldukça azdır. Bu çalışmayla alanyazındaki bu boşluğa dikkat çekmek, yerel gastronomik ürünlerin ve gastronomi deneyimlerinin paket turlarda nasıl kullanıldığını ve ne kadar yer tuttuğunu tespit etmek amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla veri toplama tekniklerinden doküman incelemesine başvurulmuştur. Tur şirketlerine ait web sitelerinden elde edilen toplam 368 tur programının analizinde ise içerik analizi kullanılmıştır. Bulgulara göre gastronomik içerikli turlara TUI UK’de, Thomas Cook’tan daha fazla ağırlık verilmektedir ve turlarda en çok turistlerin aktif katılımını gerektiren aktivitelere, en az özel etkinliklere yer verilmektedir. Buna karşın turistlerin daha pasif olarak yer aldığı bina/yapı, arazi ziyaretleri tur programlarında daha baskın şekilde yer almaktadır.

Gastronomic Products and Gastronomy Experience in the International Tours: Co-creation Experience in TUI and Thomas Cook Examples

Öz:
The gastronomic experience is a comprehensive phenomenon with sensory, emotional, mental and social dimensions that includes, but is not limited to, food consumption. Gastronomy experience basically refers to the experiences of tourists related to gastronomic products and activities during their travels. In the gastronomy literature, the number of studies that analyse the co-creation and co-design of gastronomic experiences is very few. With this study, it is aimed to draw attention to this gap, to determine how local gastronomic products and gastronomic experiences are used in package tours and how much space they occupy. For this purpose, document analysis, one of the data collection techniques, was used. Content analysis was used in the analysis of a total of 368 tour programs obtained from the websites of tour companies. According to the findings, tours with gastronomic content are given more weight in TUI UK than Thomas Cook and the activities that require the active participation of tourists the most and the least special events are included in the tours. On the other hand, building/structure and site visits, in which the tourists are more passive, took a more dominant place in the tour programs.
