This study examines the significance of culinary heritage as a tourism asset and its influence on tourist motivation and destination loyalty. The research analyzes the role of traditional dishes, local gastronomic products, national culinary traditions, and authentic gastronomic experiences in shaping tourist behavior. Particular attention is given to the relationship between gastronomic experience, tourist satisfaction, intention to revisit a destination, and willingness to recommend it to others. The findings indicate that the effective utilization of culinary heritage can enhance destination attractiveness and competitiveness while strengthening tourist loyalty. Integrating culinary heritage into tourism products is considered an important factor in preserving cultural heritage and promoting the sustainable development of gastronomy tourism.Kalit soʻzlar
