As a result, the foodie behaviours and characteristics of Generation Z are explained and discussed in detail and some practical implications are suggested. For these reasons, this study aims to determine whether members of Gen Z are foodies or not and how their food-related activities affect their travel behaviour. To determine and specify the position of Gen Z foodies is also necessary for marketing activities, because they will change food and beverage industry and thus tourism industry with their technology addiction. Foodies are described as people who love and have a passion for eating, are interested in learning about food. Although the term “foodie” has been recently promoted by popular culture and then gastronomy literature, as a niche market, foodies have to be studied on a theory-based perspective in terms of market research.
