Abstract

This study aims to analyze the potential and formulate an effective implementation strategy for Traditional Culinary-Based Gastro Tourism to address the critical market gap in cruise ship tourism in Probolinggo City. Utilizing a qualitative descriptive approach based on cruise visit data (2020–2025) and literature synthesis, the research identified two main findings. First, while visitation is stable, organized City Tour participation is minimal, with high numbers of independent tourists leaving a significant market void. Local cuisine (Nasi Jagung, mango products, lupis) possesses the authenticity and flexibility required for time-constrained visitors (4–5 hour layover). Second, the proposed “Probolinggo Food Walk” model offers a concrete solution: a 2–3 hour culinary package operating from structured, international-standard Culinary Hubs with integrated local SMEs. This model is strategically designed to shift tourist spending from external destinations (Bromo) towards local culinary centers, directly contributing to the equitable distribution of economic benefits (Hutama & Negoro, 2020) and strengthening Probolinggo’s position as a gastronomically rich cruise destination. Strategic integration into official shore excursion marketing is recommended to successfully capture both organized and independent tourist segments.
