METHODOLOGY
This methodology is designed to account for: 1) research into the processes of institutional gastronomic route
destinations; 2) how Thai culinary heritage affects on the satisfaction and expectation of tourists; 3) the nature of the
relationship between the gastronomy and tourism; 4) the role of food in tourist motivation.
In order to research these topics, I will principally utilize these four techniques: 1) Exploratory method – data
collection; 2) Qualitative method; 3) Interviews with tourists and local people by focusing on gastronomic destinations
such as the visitors, and tourism providers.
