Culinary Tourism Develpment

Combining local produce and traditional cuisines with modern culinary standards and techniques as a means of meeting, attracting and satisfying international traveller needs and expectations is the essence of Cultural Tourism..

Often, local communities are unaware of the richness of their cultural heritage and/or their uniqueness of their culinary foods, traditions, and practices. However, these unique foods and methods of preparation and cooking are often tangible assets that can have enormous appeal to travellers seeking to explore, experience, and learn more about traditional heritage cooking and the accompanying lifestyles of local communities who have practiced these culinary skills down over generations. 

Culinary Tourism that focuses on heritage cuisines has the potential to provide previously though unattainable revenues and employment for communities who may never have considered or appreciated the uniqueness of the local environments and the potential this now has in the modern tourism era. What is required, therefore, is developing the capacity to share these experiences in new, exciting, and safe ways that will have appeal and reassurance in the minds of culinary travellers, seeking new authentic experiences.

Our culinary tourism capacity building modules, therefore. demonstrate a range of skills and considerations that help participants do just bringing traditional cooking techniques and practices into internationally acceptable standards. 

From local available food mapping, health and safety considerations, presentation and plating, participants will learn new skills, insights and knowledge that will equip them with the necessary information and practical skills to take the next step in building their own culinary and heritage cuisine tourism businesses.
