Title A name given to the resource Gastronomic delights for community growth: unravelling the impact of sustainable tourism in Sikkim, India Subject The topic of the resource categorical-content approach; community development (CD); gastronomy tourism (GT); narrative analysis; SGTD; Sikkim; sustainable gastronomic tourism development Description An account of the resource Community development (CD) and sustainable gastronomy tourism development (SGTD) are mutually beneficial. Therefore, this study calls for a thorough investigation and interpretation of the phenomenon. In the context of Sikkim, India, this study examines the effects of SGTD on CD. The research question of whether sustainable gastronomy tourism (SGT) influences CD is addressed through a narrative analysis. The stories of ten local food vendors are gathered and examined using the categorical-content approach. However, the narratives indicate that local food vendors do believe that SGTD can act as a catalyst for local development, and that using traditional food as an alternative source of income can offer them a number of benefits. Other facets of gastronomic tourism are identified in the stories that may have unfavourable effects. Several ways to promote SGTD are suggested. The paper concludes that, to endorse gastronomic tourism (GT), local community involvement and strict policies are crucial. Copyright 2024 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
