Antecedents and outcome of tourists' positive achievement emotions in visiting risky destinations: The case of Middle East

\nPurpose\nThis study aims to investigate the effects of visitors’ dietary habits on their acceptance of local food from the perspective of positive (e.g. local food involvement) and negative (e.g. food neophobia) food-related personality traits.\n\n\nDesign/methodology/approach\nA survey was conducted on visitors to the Slow Food Festival in Taitung, Taiwan. A total of 327 valid questionnaire responses were collected and structural equation modeling was used to conduct path analyzes.\n\n\nFindings\nThe analysis results supported all hypotheses. Food neophobia plays a key factor in moderating roles.\n\n\nOriginality/value\nThis study contributes to the literature by integrating positive and negative perspectives of food-related personality traits. In addition, this study proposes that food neophobia plays a moderating role in food choice and behavioral decisions.\n

Personality and eating behavior in a food festival: understanding visitors’ loyalty from the perspective of food-related personality traits

Community nursing research is not a new discipline, but I think it is true to say that the emergence of primary care at the heart of the health service in recent years has been a tremendous spur to development. A recent symposium in London, organized by the charity International Conferences in Community Health Care Nursing Research, raised a number of key questions, among them ‘what should community nurses research?’, ‘how should they research?’ and ‘how should they share their research?’. Clearly I have a vested interest in the last question – it benefits BJCN (and its readers) to be chosen as a means of disseminating research – but the first two questions produced some useful insights.

Community nursing research on the up.

Since local food is considered essential to attract tourists to a destination, we focused on a number of negative and positive factors influencing the local food purchasing decision.In this context, the purpose of this study is to determine the effect of food neophobia, variety seeking and food consumption motivation on the intention to purchase local food through quantitative research.The data were obtained from 655 international tourists visiting Istanbul between May-August 2021 through a face-to-face survey and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), which validates the use of partial least squares (PLS).The results indicate that food neophobia, variety seeking, and food consumption motivation have a significant effect on the intention to purchase local food.Consequently, theoretical and practical recommendations were presented in line with the findings.

The Effect of Food Neophobia, Variety Seeking, and Food Consumption Motivation on Intention to Purchase Local Food

The common presumption in food tourism that tourists are neophilic (seek novel taste), due to being ‘attracted’ to new food at destination, or neophobic (fear of unknown food), based on food as an ‘impediment’ (Cohen and Aveili, 2004), has recently been challenged, and it is suggested that tourists eating behaviour in uncertainty can be flexible and adaptive (Falconer, 2013). In an attempt to capture tourists’ variety seeking behaviour (VSB) in uncertainty, this study aims to explore the role of emotion and impact on Western tourists’ VSB with unfamiliar food in Malaysia. Additionally, elicitation factors of emotion are also examined. The study adopts ‘culture confusion’ and ‘affect-heurist’ theoretical constructs and extend them into a tourist food consumption framework. 
Semi-structured interviews incorporating Critical Incident Technique (CIT) were carried out with fourty-four independent British and German tourists (N=44) to provide experiential patterns as a linkage to explore their emotions and variety seeking experiences. The data were collected between July and August 2014 and analysed through content analysis. The findings indicated that despite tourists’ neophilic/ neophobic tendency, emotion plays a key role in directing tourists’ variety seeking behaviour with unfamiliar food. Also, impact of emotion on VSB changes across time, transforming tourists’ VSB dynamically. The findings indicate negative emotions affected perceived control negatively, which reduced VSB. Positive emotion increases perceived control, which heightened VSB. Four key factors that elicited emotions including ‘food attributes’, ‘intercultural service encounter’, ‘bodily interference’ and ‘environment and social eating’ were found. The study suggests that fast and rapid emotional affect influences Western tourists’ VSB, in their effort to reduce perceived risk and increase perceived control. Finally a conceptual model was developed to illustrate the role and impact of emotion in the transformation of Western tourists’ VSB into dynamic and fluid behaviour.
