Abstract

As the world’s largest industry, the tourism Food industry of the world has rapidly developed in recent years. Transferring “digital food” to “wisdom food” means new opportunities and challenges that the sustainable development of the food should face. However, the informational development of this industry still lags behind, the exploitation and utilization of information resources haven’t owned an effective platform, which lack of a benign circulation and interactive mechanism, therefore, to combine the IOT with the food about wisdom has always been a new tendency. This study constructed framework of the tourism Food core competitiveness based on IOT. Then, this study proposed a measurement model for the tourism Food core competitiveness and test the model through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, the indicators demonstrate that the model is effective and present that resource protection ability, operation management ability, service ability and Tourism Food service chain integration ability all have influence on the tourism Food core competitiveness.

Keywords:

Core competitiveness, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, IOT,
