Abstract

Technological approach affecting on tourism industry development is uncertainties from era to era. This study examines the impact of social media and technological innovation on tourism outcomes through a systematic review. Data were collected from three databases: EBSCO (1984-2019), Scopus (2005–2021), and Web of Science (2009-2020), using keywords such as technology innovation, digitalization, social media, and enhancing tourism industry outcomes. Quality assessment was performed using SPSS and Cohen’s Kappa statistics by two reviewers. Out of 156 articles initially screened, nine qualitative studies were included after further review. The findings indicate that social media platforms have the most significant impact on the development of the tourism industry. However, the study has limitations, including not exploring the impact of blockchain technology adoption. The concept of tourism has evolved into smart tourism, influencing tourist behavior through digital marketing, creative digital solutions, and digital payments. This has modernized and enhanced the tourism industry, requiring further efforts to meet tourist demands and expectations. Technologies like AI, IoT, VR, and AR are key factors in improving the tourism industry. To boost competitiveness and sustainable performance, stakeholders, governments, and tourism practitioners need to collaborate on developing strategies and technological innovations.

Abstract

Fortification of cassava starch with bacterial polyglutamic acid (PGA) offers the potential to enhance its nutritional value. The fortified starch was determined for its physicochemical and functional properties after addition of varying levels PGA. The findings showed that with increasing PGA levels, there was a significant (p < 0.05) decrease in bulk density, swelling power, and viscosity (peak, trough, breakdown, setback, and final), while water and oil absorption capacities and solubility index increased. In addition, increasing PGA content significantly (p < 0.05) increased protein content approximately 48.71% and fat content 72.5%, while moisture and ash content decreased 13.10% and 8.1%, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed obvious cracks in starch granules and increased binding of PGA protein molecules to the surface of starch granules, resulting in the formation of larger agglomerates. This study focused on the assessment of the effects of fortification of cassava starch with PGA bacteria on its functional and sensory properties.

Abstract

This article examines how Kazakhstan can enhance its tourism industry by leveraging its rich traditional food heritage. Gastronomic tourism, a rapidly growing sector focused on immersive culinary experiences, allows travelers to connect deeply with local cultures through food. Positioned at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, Kazakhstan offers a unique culinary landscape shaped by its nomadic traditions, Silk Road history, and diverse ethnic influences. Traditional dishes like beshbarmak, kazy, and baursak provide authentic experiences that showcase the nation’s heritage, while urban centers such as Almaty and Nur-Sultan feature a modern fusion of culinary techniques, adding a dynamic layer to Kazakhstan’s food scene. The article highlights the role of traditional food in driving tourism development, with efforts from the government and private sector to promote Kazakhstan as a culinary destination. By focusing on traditional food as a key attraction, Kazakhstan holds strong potential to enrich its tourism offerings and appeal to an international audience seeking culturally rooted travel experiences. This study employs an applied qualitative research method that integrates a comprehensive literature review, thematic analysis, and comparative analysis to explore the potential of traditional Kazakh cuisine in enhancing tourism development. The findings reveal that Kazakhstan’s unique food practices ranging from innovative methods such as drying, fermenting, and smoking to the fusion of multicultural dish influences offer significant opportunities for immersive gastronomic tourism experiences. These insights suggest that by strategically promoting its traditional cuisine through culinary tours, food festivals, and interactive cooking demonstrations, Kazakhstan can elevate its profile as a distinct culinary destination, thereby enhancing tourist experiences and supporting sustainable economic growth.
