What the paper says

This study proposes a comprehensive framework for assessing the value of local food consumption in the context of tourism by integrating trade-off, experiential, and dynamic perspectives from consumer value theory. A multidimensional construct termed Desired Food Consumption Value in Tourism (D-FCVT) was developed, incorporating a new value perspective—sustainable value, which reflects the experiential approach. This study investigates a novel model using data (n = 897) collected in Hangzhou, China. The model analyzes how the benefit variable (i.e., D-FCVT) and sacrifice variables influence Perceived Food Consumption Value in Tourism (P-FCVT), testing the trade-off effects among these factors. Additionally, the model captures the dynamic nature of food consumption value by incorporating individual food preferences, product characteristics, and tourism-specific contextual factors. The study contributes to the understanding of the value of local food consumption and clarifies the theoretical and empirical relationships between them.
