The aim of this literature review is to examine dimensions of destination food image. Based on previous research, dimensions of destination food image, for example (list the dimensions you found in your search, and that you will be referring to in the following paragraphs – in any order is fine) are used by food destinations to (attract tourists to their city/provide local food producers/restaurants/? with business/income/?).

In these paragraphs, discuss at least six peer-reviewed journal articles (only published from 2015 onwards). Try to group one, two or three together (group them because there is some similarity or difference between them). You can discuss the same article more than once if it helps the discussion flow. The research studies can be from any country or area/region of the world.

The participants of each study may differentiate or be similar, so that you can compare and contrast your findings.

You may find that once you have listed/discussed the dimensions in a study, you can discuss the impact/relationship/affect they have with food consumption in a particular destination/city/town/country. It just depends on what you find in your search – all journal articles have an aim, so you can discuss that ‘angle’.

Or

You could discuss the effects of cultural background on food tourists’ perceptions of food image of a destination, BUT you must incorporate dimensions of food image into the discussion (because the main focus is still on dimensions of destination of food image).

Or

You could discuss how/why food destinations use particular dimensions to attract food tourists to their country/city/area, BUT you must incorporate dimensions of food image into the discussion (because the main focus is still on dimensions of destination of food image).
