The aim of this study was to investigate the dietary attitude, popularization and merchandising intention of native local foods in the Yeongcheon area using a questionnaire. The questionnaire was answered by 322 citizens living in Yeongcheon. The findings are summarized as follows: 25.8% of the respondents stated that ‘familiarity in taste’ was the reason that they like local foods. 32.0% of the subjects said ‘mass media’ was the reason they knew about local foods. The most important aspect of local foods for tourism was ‘taste’ (44.7%). One of the main conditions for the popularization of local foods was ‘holding various kinds of cultural events’ (25.2%). The most recognized native local food in the Yeongcheon area was ‘Ukhoe’ (3.60 points), followed by ‘Samsong-gun-mandu’ (3.58 points), ‘Dotorimuk-muchim’, ‘Hanu-sutbul-gui’ and ‘Chueotang’. On the other hand, the recognition score for ‘Gompi-namul’ (2.63 points), ‘Piramijorim’ (2.77 points), ‘Sangeo-pipyeon’, ‘Muneochae-sukhoe’ was very low. The most effective local food in developing tourism in Yeongcheon was ‘Ukhoe’ (3.70 points), followed by ‘Hanu-sutbul-gui’ (3.69 points), ‘Dombaegi-gui-jjim’, ‘Samsong-gun-mandu’, ‘Someri-suyuk’. The results of this study indicate that the tourism commercialization intention of Yeongcheon local foods was significantly dependent on demographic factors (gender, age, education, dwelling period). Males had a high tourism product intention for ‘Ukhoe’, while female was high intention for ‘Sogogi-jeongol’ and ‘Kongnip-kimchi’. The tourism commercialization intention for most Yeongcheon local foods increased as the dwelling period increased.
