Food consumption is an important concept in hospitality literature. the idea of local traditional food culture is well-know, as every country is characterized by its national and regional dishes. While its role in achieving a satisfying travel experience for tourists and influencing 'tourism experiences of a destination' is recognized, the impact of the value of local Korean food consumption of tourists on tourist behavior remains an underdeveloped subject. This study examined the effect of the value of the local food consumption of tourists on their future behaviors by focusing on the image of the destination, food destination, and their attitude towards local food. Data was collected from 152 tourists in South Korea, through a survey method using structured questionnaires. The study uses descriptive statistics, EFA, Cronbach Alpha, and sequential regression methods. The results indicated that the taste/quality value, the health value, the interaction value, and the epistemic value left a positive effect on the tourist's attitude towards the local Korean food. Although the food destination image did not affect the intention to visit the destination for food tourism, it positively influenced the intention to recommend local food. The observations revealed marketing strategies widely explored in the study.
