The ethical implication of tourism on guinea pig production: The case of Cuenca, Ecuador

Abstract:

Food and tourism have a very close relationship. Food can be a motivator for some, satisfying a multiplicity of physiological, social, and other needs-something very different for each person. Food also represents more than an economic commodity; it is a multidimensional cultural artifact capable of linking issues regarding the relationships between place and identity. As Everett and Aitchison (2008) point out, eating exotic, international foodstuffs has become part of a new postmodern culture characterized by pluralized and aestheticized experiences that have fostered new patterns of touristic consumption and the development of new identities and touristic experiences.
