By adapting Randall & Sanjur’s (1981) theoretical model which categorises the factorsinfluencing food preferences into the individual, the food, and the environment, the present studyproposes that potential factors affecting food consumption in the context of tourism can likewisebe categorised into three main categories: the tourist, the food in the destination, and thedestination environment (Fig. 2). Food in the destination presents factors such as sensoryattributes, food content, cooking methods (Chang et al., 2010; Cohen & Avieli, 2004). Thedestination environment contributes factors such as gastronomic image/identity, marketingcommunications, service encounter, and servicescape (i.e., physical elements in a consumptionsetting’s built environment) (Chang et al., 2011; Fox, 2007; Harrington, 2005). Arguably, thesefactors can be more complex than food consumption in home settings, for there is a substantialchange in both the ‘food’ and the ‘environment’ components. Above all, tourists’ former attitudetowards food and eating might change, and a different set of motivations might influence theirpreferences and choice of food in the new and unfamiliar environment. Limited space precludes afull discussion of the wide ranging factors classified under these three categories. Given the focusof this study is on tourist food consumption, the factors pertaining to the tourists are elaborated inthe ensuing sections.
