| dc.description.abstract | This study explores the culinary experiences of international tourists in Davao City, focusing on four key dimensions: food quality, food-related cultural aspects, physical dining environment, and social interactions. A total of 300 foreign tourists were randomly selected and surveyed using adapted questionnaires. Data were analyzed using statistical tools such as frequency, mean, t-test, and ANOVA.
Findings revealed that international tourists placed high importance on food quality, preparation methods, interior design, and the social interaction between staff and guests. No significant differences were observed in culinary experience based on gender or civil status.
However, age was found to significantly influence perceptions of the physical dining
environment, particularly regarding ambiance. This suggests that creating a welcoming and aesthetically pleasing atmosphere is crucial for appealing to a broad age range of international diners.
The Insights from this study aim to assist restaurant establishments In enhancing their offerings, expanding their market reach, and gaining recognition for quality service. | en_US |
