Exploring Tourist Dining Preferences Based on Restaurant Reviews [Summary]

Abstract

According to the research result, there are several lessons that tour practitioners and restaurant management should pay attention to. Certain nationality tourism groups like Indian, Italian, and French have a strong preference for their own foods during the trip. Western tourists tend to prefer to go to the pub so this can be applied for tour planning for the group. Also, it is reconfirmed the former studies that wine is the key component of the tourism dining experience in Australia. While western tourist concern restaurant features more than Asian tourists who care about food quality more than that, restaurant managers and operators should be careful when they set up their strategy. However, those are only derived from limited sources – TripAdvisor’s reviews about Australian restaurants so these might have some limited applications in limited literature.
