| Sumario: | This dissertation aims to understand the food consuming behaviours of international tourists in their long-haul travel. This thesis is presented as a compendium of publications, which the first one intents to build a new typology of food consumed in tourism from a globalization perspective, and exposes a full range of dining experience, through investigating Chinese tourists’ food consumption in Spain. Then second paper investigates how food habits influence Chinese tourists to consume Spanish local food from the cultural perspective. This study also explains how tourists deal with these obstacles in local food consumption. The third paper explores the reasons why Chinese tourists chose to eat fast food in McDonald’s. This research challenges the pervious views on McDonald’s and clarifies some positive aspects of it to international visitors. This thesis extends and deepens the understandings of tourists’ food consumption experience in long-haul travelling with food cultural differences. |
