In this
study, the geographical indication (GI) notion, which is one of the industrial
property rights, and its importance has been tried to explain and information
has been given about the products that got GI, whose registration performed
especially in Turkey, and their distribution. Furthermore, the aim of this study
is to determine the perception and awareness of products with GI of the manager
candidates who are expected to take part in business and kitchens in the
accommodation and food-beverage sector in the future that is the students who
study in the field of Tourism and mostly is the Gastronomy and Culinary Arts
and is to determine their point of view on products that got GI. It has been
thought that this situation is very important in terms of the sustainability of
GI practises, the evaluation of products with GI in terms of tourism and
especially in terms of gastronomy, culture and rural tourism, and their
availability in businesses and units that provide food-beverage service.
Accordingly, a questionnaire was applied to 419 students studying tourism at the
undergraduate level via e-mail. As a result of the analysis, it was determined
that the students' GI perception was low and their GI awareness did not differ
according to their levels of department and grade. This situation of producers
and manager candidates who are expected to protect their cultural heritage in
the future, and who are mainly educated in Tourism in the field of Gastronomy
and Culinary Arts, has been evaluated as quite thought-provoking, and various
suggestions have been developed for sustainability of products with GI.
