Vokáčová, Zuzana ; Mlejnková, Lena (advisor) ; Kalábová, Markéta (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to characterize the product of food tours and analyze specific portfolio of these tours of the company Frying Pan Adventures based in Dubai City. The partial objective of this thesis is to describe gastronomic tourism as one of the dynamically developing motives for tourism. The theoretical part explains basic terms related to tourism, motivations and motives for travelling and gastronomy, and points out the relationships between them. The practical part describes the selected destination, United Arab Emirates, and particularly Dubai, both from a geographic, economic and historical point of view, as well as from the position of tourism as a discipline. First, the food tours of one specific provider are analyzed and categorized based on defined characteristics into functional groups. Second, the offer of the chosen food tour provider is evaluated from several perspectives. A customer perspective focuses on analyzing the feedback on the product and evaluating the website of the service provider. Additionally, the evaluation is also based on a personal experience with the product, thus incorporating a subjective point of view into the evaluation. Third, a conclusion is drawn by using SWOT analysis to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats for the company. This part also outlines a possible future development and recommendations.
