Proposal for a Region-Specific Tourism System Supporting the Exploration of Specific Dishes

Abstract

This study aimed to develop a system that supports “walk-and-eat” experiences centered on a specific dish within a particular region. The system provides detailed information about the dish and its cultural and regional context, alongside personalized restaurant recommendations tailored to users’ preferences. These features enable even first-time visitors to plan their culinary explorations efficiently. Through this approach, users can gain a deeper understanding of local foods by exploring their variations, preparation methods, and cultural significance. This study integrates a culinary focus with tourism innovation, aiming to create a unique and engaging experience that enhances the connection between visitors and the local area.
