Abstract

Gastronomic tourism represents an important aspect in the tourism environment and is often a central segment of the tourist experience. The paper aims at analysing gastronomic tourism offer in the Herzegovina region (Bosnia and Herzegovina), taking into consideration its natural and cultural characteristics, and providing recommendations for its improvement. Primary data were collected by face-to-face interviews carried out with rural tourism stakeholders, managers of tourist organizations, owners of catering facilities, winery owners and local food producers as well as a survey with visitors (tourists). Field research was conducted in July 2019 in seven cities and/or municipalities of the Herzegovina region (Mostar, Trebinje, Capljina, Ljubuski, Bileca, Nevesinje and Gacko). The first part of the paper illustrates Herzegovina as a destination rich in natural and cultural attractions with a focus on traditional cuisine. In the second part, based on the research results, the situation is assessed and recommendations for the future development of gastronomic tourism are given in order to improve the existing tourist offer. Many actors in tourism (e.g. hotels, restaurants, local community, etc.) have realized the importance of gastronomy as a catalyst for the movement of tourists and stimulation of local, regional and national economic development. Typical products, such as domestic food and wine, have been given an adequate function to characterize the tourist offer and represent in many cases the main attraction. Herzegovina region is recognizable by its traditional cuisine, which represents an important asset for the future development of gastronomic tourism. Education and raising the awareness of all actors as well as local communities about gastronomic tourism is paramount for the sector development. Local entrepreneurial endeavours can benefit from connection and exchange with partners from Europe to create a recognizable gastronomic destination in the tourism market.

波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那美食旅游的现状和前景:以黑塞哥维那地区为例
美食旅游是旅游环境的一个重要方面,往往是旅游体验的核心部分。本文旨在分析黑塞哥维那地区(波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那)的美食旅游服务,考虑到其自然和文化特征,并为其改进提供建议。通过对乡村旅游利益相关者、旅游组织管理者、餐饮设施所有者、酒庄所有者和当地食品生产者的面对面访谈以及对游客(游客)的调查来收集主要数据。实地研究于2019年7月在黑塞哥维那地区的七个城市和/或直辖市(莫斯塔尔、特雷比涅、卡普里纳、柳布斯基、比勒卡、内维谢耶和加科)进行。论文的第一部分说明了黑塞哥维那作为一个目的地丰富的自然和文化景点,重点是传统美食。第二部分,根据研究结果对现状进行评估,并对美食旅游的未来发展提出建议,以提高现有的旅游报价。旅游业的许多参与者(如酒店、餐馆、当地社区等)已经认识到美食作为促进游客流动和刺激地方、区域和国家经济发展的催化剂的重要性。典型的产品,如国内食品和葡萄酒,已经被赋予了充分的功能,以表征旅游产品的特点,在许多情况下代表了主要的吸引力。黑塞哥维那地区以其传统美食而闻名,这是未来美食旅游发展的重要资产。教育和提高所有行为者以及当地社区对美食旅游的认识对该部门的发展至关重要。当地的企业可以从与欧洲合作伙伴的联系和交流中受益,从而在旅游市场上创建一个知名的美食目的地。
