The Role of Culinary Tourism in Local Marketplace Business—New Outlook in the Selected Developing Area

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

I would recommend a number of upgrades.

1.The authors must improve the readability and understandability of paper. The topics and issues are well explained but the paper is "dense" and full of details. It would be helpful for the reader to be helped by Tables and other forms of summarizing the information to highlight the main insights of the paper. 

2.The factor "culinary/gastronomy" is underplayed under a long list of subjects. It is not clear the role to be assigned the culinary topic. Please be more explicit about this factor.

3.Some of the information provided may not be relevant. Example: Table 2: Traditional recipes.

4.It would useful to provide a Table with the main topics identified by the software KH Coder.

5.Rewrite the paper to offer a more sound, coherent and focused approach. Most of the information is relevant, but must be framed and contextualised within the boundaries of the paper´s title and main theme.

The first paragraph of the part of results should be included in the Methodology part.

The findings are not shown clearly in the paper. 

Also, the manuscript needs to use, in a higher way, tables, and maps, to clarify the study area, or the findings, i.e.
