Hello Mayukh

This is about vegan, not vegetarian travel, but it might be relevant and being a recent paper, some of the references are also recent and may be of interest:

Kansanen, I. (2013). Vegan travel-The ways how vegan diet influences travel experience.

thanks Ms Mary. really appreciate it. i have gone through this paper earlier already though. the author talks about travel motivations of finnish vegans before, during and after a trip. i was now looking at any studies done on vegetarians while being on holiday. how do their beliefs and religion (specifically) influence their food and travel choices. thanks again for your answer.

In this moment we know about such research. the subject is very interesting and can generate actions among bidders culinary tourism products.

You may look at other good examples of qualitative research in generic fields.

  Dear  Mayukh Dewan

Just after noticed your question, I started to search about  'vegetarian tourists travel behavior and beliefs'. That is interesting topic for me also. I could find out some  research papers regarding this topic and concept. As I understood, 'vegetarian tourism' has linked and associated with 'Health-care tourism'. Just read below mentioned research papers and books

 Goodrich, J. N., & Goodrich, G. E. (1987). Health-care tourism—An exploratory study. Tourism Management, 8(3), 217-222.
