Abstract This dissertation explores the impact of cultural cuisine exposure on the eating habits of tourists, addressing the key question of how culinary experiences shape dietary choices during travel. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the study collected qualitative and quantitative data through surveys and interviews with a diverse sample of tourists. Key findings reveal that increased exposure to local cuisines significantly enhances tourists willingness to try new dishes, positively influencing their meal selections while traveling. Satisfaction levels with cultural food experiences were also found to correlate with a greater openness to dietary diversification, suggesting that cultural interactions during travel can foster healthier eating habits. The implications of these findings extend into the realm of healthcare, indicating that exposure to diverse food cultures may play a critical role in promoting healthier, more varied diets among travelers. By highlighting the relationship between cultural cuisine and dietary choices, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of how travel can influence long-term eating behaviors, with potential applications in public health strategies aimed at dietary improvement. Ultimately, this study emphasizes the need for a greater integration of culinary tourism into healthcare discussions, positioning tourism not only as a leisure activity but also as a crucial factor in enhancing overall wellness and nutrition awareness across populations.
