1	Regional Food Proucts in the Tourist Home Country. The Case of South Tyrol Weyh, Lukas Hans Walther January 2020 (has links) This thesis investigates the relationship of regional food products in the tourist home country with destination marketing and management at the example of South Tyrol. South Tyrol was chosen as research area, because the 2 sectors have, on their own, a big standing in the region as well as a cooperate in many different ways. This has led to a symbiosis inside and outside the destination, making it an interesting area to research. While the interplay of the culinary assets of a destination with tourism within the destination is increasingly recognized, developed and used by researchers, planners, companies and authorities, the possible relationship of these sectors outside the destination remains an under-researched area. As Alderighi et al. (2016) found out in a study, an (empirical) connection between availability of local specialities in the tourist home (markets) and the intention of (re-)visit the place is evident. Therefore, this thesis uncovers different tools and mechanisms in (destination) marketing and management for the incorporation of regional food products in the tourist home country. Additionally, experts from the sectors of food and tourism, DMO, will share their considerations and limitations. Theory and practice will be opposed, where as the concepts of “region branding” and “sensory destination marketing” will be elaborated. sustainable destination development marketing south tyrol sensory destination marketing region branding tourist loyalty destination management tourism tourist relationship branding Economic Geography Ekonomisk geografi Food Science Livsmedelsvetenskap Infrastructure Engineering Infrastrukturteknik Business Administration Företagsekonomi
