To achieve this aim, the netnography approach, which is a qualitative study method, was performed using the User-Generated Content (UGC) technique. The data were gathered in July 2022 from TripAdvisor platform and were sequenced from the latest to the earliest reviews (n=1184). The results of this study demonstrated that the traditional breakfast experience has six major components: authenticity, memorability, novelty, local hospitality, food attributes, togetherness, and social interactions. Significant theoretical and managerial implications were discussed.en10.54055/ejtr.v36i.3136info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBreakfast experienceBreakfast experience modelFood experienceLocal foodTraditionalArticle36N/AQ2WOS:0011030189000132-s2.0-85176215371
