FOOD TOURISM WHEN & WHERE GETTING FOOD TOURISM RIGHT


WHEN: TUESDAY 7 NOVEMBER 10.30-12.30


WHERE: PLATINUM SUITE 3


As we head into 2018, tourism industry professionals need to be aware of two major developments that could impact their business. Firstly, almost all travellers now seek memorable food and beverage, yet their needs in this area are still going unmet. Secondly, the world is smaller than ever, and if Korean and Peruvian dishes, for example, are now available anywhere, then what will lure people to travel for food and beverage? Learn why an authentic sense of place is crucial for a positive food traveller experience. In this information-rich, two-hour session, you will hear viewpoints on the above subjects from industry leaders. Concluding the session will be a panel discussion.
