Herald for Sept. Alan 2008 Copy.Indd
Saint Sophia HERALD Volume 13 Number 9 Many Lives...One Heart September, 2008 “What’s That Around Your Neck?” I was privileged to have spent almost two weeks in Greece this summer where I had the pleasant task of baptizing the granddaughter of a very dear friend. Greece is the premier laboratory of western history and civilization. Whatever period of time or era one wishes to examine, it is all there. For Christians who study the New Testament scriptures, there is no better place to walk in the footsteps of St. Paul than Greece. On Sunday, August 3rd, I took the commuter train from Kiﬁssia, a northern suburb of Athens, to go to Monastiraki, the closest station to the ancient Athenian agora or market place just under the shadow of the Acropolis. I wanted to walk through the ancient city ruins and end up on Mars Hill, known in the book of Acts, Chapter 17 as the Areopagus. It is a small rocky hill where St. Paul stood and addressed the Athenian philosophers and skeptics, preaching to them the gospel message of Jesus Christ. I wanted to stand where Paul stood nearly 2000 years before and to vicariously sense through my spiritual imagination, a little of what he saw and experienced. The train was packed…standing room only. A few feet away from me stood a young man who was intently looking at me. At ev- ery station stop he inched his way closer to me. Half way into the 30 minute ride to downtown Athens, we were almost face to face.

An Exploratory Study Linking Turkish Regional Food with Cultural Destinations
Academica Turistica Discussions An Exploratory Study Linking Turkish Regional Food with Cultural Destinations Mehmet Ergul San Francisco State University College of Business, Hospitality and Tourism Management Department [email protected] Colin Johnson San Francisco State University College of Business, Hospitality and Tourism Management Department [email protected] Ali Sukru Cetinkaya Selcuk University Vocational School of Silifke Tasucu, Turkey [email protected] Jale Boga Robertson Blue Odyssey Corte Madera, CA [email protected] Abstract Food and tourism may be considered as two interrelated elements that bring people and cultures together on many different occasions. Research indicates that food could be viewed as a peak touristic experience and a major tourist attraction. The main purpose of this paper is to identify and evaluate the significance of food tour- ism for Turkey and to create a number of innovative regional food related itineraries that would be replicable. Four main results emerged from the analysis of the interviews. The major recommendations from the study include developing an action list for the Turkish Ministry of Tourism, developing new food tourism itineraries and creating an official food guide. The findings of the study could be used as a base for further exploring the application of new technologies in food destination sectors.

An Efficient Promotion for Ethnic Restaurants. In: EURAM 2016
Chatzopoulou E, Gorton M, Kuznesof S. Defining food authenticity: An efficient promotion for ethnic restaurants. In: EURAM 2016. 2016, Paris, France: European Academy of Management. Copyright: © 2016. This manuscript version is made available under the CC-BY-NC 4.0 license URL link to proceedings: http://2016.euramfullpaper.org/program/files/Euram16_Conference_Book.pdf Date deposited: 02/05/2017 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported License Newcastle University ePrints - eprint.ncl.ac.uk Defining food authenticity: An efficient promotion for ethnic restaurants Abstract Authenticity is not only a cornerstone of contemporary marketing, but also crucial in the development of brand identity, differentiation and positioning. To date, research has focussed on perceptions of authenticity in consumers’ patronage of businesses, brands, places and experiences. However, this research takes a “producer” perspective by examining the meaning and construction of authenticity by commercial enterprises, through a qualitative, interpretive examination of restaurants serving mainly Greek food in both the UK and Greece. Restaurateurs (n=11 in the UK and 8 in Greece) were theoretically sampled. Data from in- depth interviews was analysed according to constructivist grounded theory conventions. The results indicated that the core concept linking the restaurateurs was “hospitality”. This was variously achieved by hiring staff of the same ethnicity with the restaurant’s theme, developing a menu, sourcing ingredients and creating an ambiance that reflected the authenticity bias of the restaurateur, which was either indexically or existentially oriented. The strategic implications are discussed. Keywords Authenticity, identity, food, ethnic, restaurants, promotion. 1 Introduction The term authenticity derives from the ancient Greek word “αυθεντικός” meaning something trustworthy and original, not an imitation or imaginary (Cappannelli, 2004).
