Culinary tourism-- this is
also known as food tourism

and/or gastronomy tourism.

This is to assess
and explore foods

as the primary reason for
travel to different tourism

destinations.

This has been and
currently considered

a significant element on
the type or forms of tourism

to enjoy and experience.

One of the most common
activities among tourists

is to dine out in a relaxing
accommodation and soothing

dining environment.

Culinary or food
tourism is the quest

of exceptional, unforgettable
dining and drinking

experiences on a destination
or place of visit.

Culinary tourism or food tourism
is different from agrotourism,

but they interconnected
with each other.

Culinary tourism is associated
with the cuisine, culture,

and religious practices in
any particular destinations.

Agrotourism is related with
the agricultural activities

producing foods,
ensuring availability

of products in the
destinations all year round.

Culinary tourism or
food tourism is not

restricted to
gourmet food but can

be considered also as
experiential and experimental

tourism.

In most cities, provinces,
regions, and countries,

culinary tourism is very
popular, not just only

to limit the food's culture, but
tourists and people typically

eat foods at least three
to five times a day.

This makes culinary
tourism an ultimate

to economic contributions
in a tourist destinations.

The World Food
Travel Association

emphasizes the following
clarification-- food

tourism shall be supplemented
with drinking beverages.

Foods plays a major role in
the travel plans of tourists

traveling to
different destinations

in the world that gives
energy to humans' body.

Foods and beverages
should go with each other,

just like two hands
in the same body

or just like meat and
salt. Eating foods

should always be associated
with beverages, either alcoholic

or non-alcoholic drinks.

Foods and drinks are
inherently connected

to the set of experiences,
legacy, culture, and locality.

These perspectives lead back to
the individuals of the tourist

destinations, how their
way of life has advanced,

how they've molded the scene,
their customs, traditions,

manner of cooking of
foods, and livelihoods.

Food tourism includes the
availability and accessibility

of food carts, food stalls,
takeout counters, street foods,

fast foods, restaurants,
cafeterias, canteens,

buffet restaurants, casual
dining restaurants, gastropubs,

dramatic wineries, and
one-of-a-kind restaurants.

Culinary tourism has become
prominent and innovative

decades ago with the fusion of
different regional, national,

and international cuisines.

The World Food
Travel Association

estimates that food and beverage
expenses account for 15% to 35%

of all tourism
spending, depending

on the availability,
affordability,

and demand of the destinations.

The World Food
Travel Association

lists possible food tourism
benefits as including

more visitors, more sales, more
media attention, increased tax

revenue, increased
employment opportunities,

and greater community pride.

An increasing part
of culinary tourism

is cooking classes
and culinary training.

The designs differ
from a short lesson

to last at least
a few hours only

to complete whole day, even
weekly and monthly trainings.

The emphasis for foreign
visitors, tourists,

and trainees will generally be
on the gastronomy or cuisine

of the country they
are visiting in.

While local tourists would be
an experience on the cuisines

or foods new to them.

Several cooking classes and
training also includes a tour

to the marketplace
and farms just

to enhance the cultural
experience and the value

on how foods are being
planted and processed.

Accordingly, food
tourism industry

can assume a significant part
in safeguarding the country's

legacy and nation building.

The new natures of
practices and wisdom,

through the distinctiveness of
regional gastronomic culture,

cuisine, and the biodiversity
of the destination,

culinary tourism
has the potential

to strengthen the association
between people, culture,

and food, also creating an
enduring and extraordinary

recall for the tourists
in the destinations.

Nevertheless, the
benefits of food tourism

do not focus only on tourists.

The well-established and
designed dining experiences

can help benefit the whole
journey, stakeholders,

and the environment.

The following are some
of the specific benefits

of food tourism or culinary
tourism to both tourists

and food service providers.

1, cultivates community
and social awareness

by involving tourists to the
destination at diverse levels

of society and culture.

2, enhance the revenue
