Abstract: The main purpose of this research is to measure the gastronomy tourism potential of the province for the proposal of a gastronomy museum in Sinop. The sub-objectives of the research include designing a gastronomy museum specific to Sinop, determining the strengths of the gastronomy potential of the province, and ensuring that this potential is included among the gastronomy tour routes. At the same time, it is aimed to provide a perspective on the importance of opening a gastronomy museum in the city in terms of the sustainability of gastronomic values in Sinop. In this context, the study analyzes the gastronomic values of Sinop and how these values can be made sustainable. Within the scope of the research, the content analysis technique was used as a data collection method. The gastronomic richness of Sinop and the contribution of these richnesses to tourism potential were evaluated. In this way, it is aimed at developing strategies to increase the attractiveness of the province in terms of gastronomy tourism. As a result of these analyses, Sinop’s unique gastronomic richnesses and their contributions to tourism potential have been comprehensively evaluated. At the end of the study, strategies have been developed to increase the attractiveness of Sinop in terms of gastronomy tourism and to support sustainable tourism development. Suggestions include organizing local cuisine festivals, creating interactive and educational exhibitions within the gastronomy museum, branding local products, and increasing promotional activities. In addition, raising awareness and training local people and businesses about gastronomy and tourism are also among the suggestions. These strategies aim to maximize the gastronomy tourism potential of Sinop and contribute to the economic and cultural development of the province.
