description The segmentation of intenational tourists who visit the city of Quito according to their perceptions with regard to the gastronomy. To achieve this objective, the methodology used in this investigation has been the application of a multivariate technique of item grouping and the realization of an univariate ANOVA post hoc analysis. The main conclusions that emanante from this research focus on the segmentation of international tourists into three different groups and in how the attraction to the gastronomy, considered by the travellers implies a greater satisfaction of the destination. The main practical implications are centred on a better understanding of key factors about how gastronomy can reinforce a touristic destination and achieve a greater satisfaction considered by the traveller.
