What is Food Tourism?
Food tourism is the desire to travel in order to absorb new cultures through flavors and tastes. We are motivated to experience differences throughout the world in the dishes people eat and the way they share meals together. Food, in fact, is one facet in cultural diversity which brings people together that transcends words. When we taste something, we learn a great deal about that culture and the person who made the dish. There are even insights into how humans throughout history have learned to cultivate the land they have been given, as well as how to support their people through the climate that they find themselves in. Food is the basis and the crux of any society, and its diversity should be taken advantage of when traveling the world.
