We all know that people from different cultural backgrounds eat different types of food but that’s
not all. In a lot of cases, certain dishes become symbols of their native country. For example,
people always associate pizza with Italy, ramen noodles with Japan, butter chicken with India,
борщ with Ukraine etc. Even people who never visited these countries know that and local food
plays an increasingly important role when it comes to choosing your holiday destination.
However, as mentioned above, food tourism isn’t just about what we eat. It’s also about how we
eat, where, with whom, and why.
Tourists are more interested in learning about local food and culture while traveling. Tour
operators that organize interesting activities that combine local food with local culture will
achieve a competitive edge.
