Public policies have developed in response to research, highlighting gastronomy as key in a successful tourism economy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHowever, research thus far has not fully explored the underlying mechanisms of gastronomic tourism, in particular the marketing and perception of quality, on economic development. This book considers how the quality of products, places, and experiences contributes to the desirability and competitiveness of gourmet touristic destinations. The contributors present theoretical and empirical studies to create an original conceptual framework for regional development based on the quality of products, of places, and of touristic experience. It also examines the ways in which quality is linked to identity, diversity, innovation, and creativity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith an interdisciplinary approach, this book will be of interest to researchers in tourism and hospitality, regional studies, and human geography, as well as to tourism development professionals and policymakers in the areas of rural and local development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicola Bellini\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138731994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138731998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/22\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d","brand":"Nicola Bellini","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48113285791999,"sku":"9781138731998","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5ba0e749-920a-4bb4-b4c2-dc9061e9a62b.jpg?v=1769614092","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gastronomy-and-local-development-nicola-bellini-9781138731998","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
