Abstract

Understanding the multifaceted dynamics driving tourists' destination choices is pivotal in contemporary tourism research. This comprehensive review explores the intricate interplay of factors influencing tourist preferences. Delving into the realms of travel motivations, hospitality, and gastronomy, the study synthesizes existing literature to uncover the pivotal determinants shaping tourists' decisions. Analyzing diverse socio-cultural, economic, and personal aspects, the review highlights the significance of experiential elements in destination selection. It examines the role of hospitality services, emphasizing their impact on visitor satisfaction and loyalty. Moreover, the article scrutinizes the influence of culinary experiences, particularly the allure of food and wine offerings in shaping travel decisions. This review not only identifies key determinants but also underscores the evolving nature of tourist preferences in the contemporary landscape. Insights gleaned from this study offer valuable implications for stakeholders in crafting tailored strategies to attract and retain tourists in an increasingly competitive global tourism market.
