Since the formal founding of the food tourism industry in 2003, both business and consumer behavior have changed considerably. Economic crises notwithstanding, our industry has also begun to learn more about itself and mature. The World Food Travel Association, the world's leading authority on food and drink tourism, with a community of 18,000 professionals in 135 countries, brings to market a comprehensive food and drink tourism handbook for food, drink, travel and hospitality professionals. The book is designed to help practitioners cope with the myriad changes in our industry by providing many of the ideas and tools needed to succeed. This book addresses in detail issues relating to food and drink tourism strategy and tactics, product development and promotion, and includes countless examples, how-to lessons, and other helpful information for food, drink, travel and hospitality businesses of all types. The book is a collaborative effort by over 70 industry thought leaders in 24 countries – a truly global effort! While the book is written for the food, drink, travel and hospitality industries, the core foundation of the book is about the business case of food and drink and its interaction with the travel and hospitality industries. While not primarily intended for an academic audience, the book does contain discussion questions is suitable for classroom use.

A MUST read for anyone in food tourism!!!

Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2018

As a food tour operator, I have found this book to be the best resource for the food tourism industry. It's textbook-like layout is useful and all of the contributors really know their stuff. I will use it as a reference tool for years to come, I'm sure. I HIGHLY recommend it for anyone who is in in food tourism, including tour operators, chefs, restaurant owners, agri-tours, wineries, food writers, etc.

The whole enchilada… and where and why to serve them

Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2014

This massive guide is as essential to foodservice and food-related travel as breathing. Authoritatively edited by experts, FORK collects and instructs snippets about countries, tour companies, the way people eat and think, and is pretty much a textbook, literally, with end sections bearing questions for discussion (yeah, it's intended for instructional use, kinda, sorta).

Consider FORK as your guidebook through a worldwide maze of food stuff and ideas to spark business. If you'e running any sort of food concept and need some influence and why it will or won't work and how, this is a well-spent $70 bucks. On the "meh" side, it would serve better as an e-edition due to its hefty size.
