Culinary tourism or food tourism or gastronomy tourism is the exploration of food as the purpose of tourism.[1] It is considered a vital component of the tourism experience.[2] Dining out is common among tourists and "food is believed to rank alongside climate, accommodation, and scenery" in importance to tourists.[2]
Culinary tourism became prominent in 2001 after Erik Wolf, president of the World Food Travel Association, wrote a white paper on the subject.[3] Traveler Engagement: A 2019 study revealed that 93% of participants engaged in food and beverage activities during their trips over the past two years, and 82% spent more on food and beverages while traveling than at home.[4]
