Food tourism is a topic of increasing importance for many
destinations. Seen as a means to potentially attract tourists and
differentiate destinations and attractions by means of the
association with particular products and cuisines, food is also
regarded as an opportunity to generate added value from tourism
through local agricultural systems and supply chains and the local
food system. From a regional development perspective this book goes
beyond culinary tourism to also look at some of the ways in which
the interrelationships between food and tourism contribute to the
economic, environmental and social wellbeing of destinations,
communities and producers. It examines the way in which tourism and
food can mutually add value for each other from the fork to the
plate and beyond. Looking at products, e.g. cheese, craft beer,
noodles, wine; attractions, restaurants and events; and diverse
regional examples, e.g. Champagne, Hong Kong, Jamaica, Margaret
River, southern Sweden, and Tuscany; the title highlights how
clustering, networking and the cultural economy of food and tourism
and foodscapes adds value for regions. Despite the attention given
to food, wine and culinary tourism no book has previously directly
focused on the contribution of food and tourism in regional
development. This international collection has contributors and
examples from almost every continent and provides a comprehensive
account of the various intersections between food tourism and
regional development. This timely and significant volume will
inform future food and tourism development as well as regional
development more widely and will be valuable reading for a range of
disciplines including tourism, development studies, food and
culinary studies, regional studies, geography and environmental
studies.
