Popis: The contribution made by local products to local economic development has been recognized. While consuming local food products, visitors not only satisfy their vital needs but also interact with local culture and support local development by stimulating demand. Despite this, the determinants of local food product consumption by international visitors have been relatively neglected. The results reveal that the determinants related to interaction with the destination and local products are stronger, but there are differences between visitors' characteristics. The findings contribute to a comprehensive understanding about the interaction of inbound tourism and local food product consumption.
