Destinations & Businesses Thrive with Culinary Tourism


We're the pioneers in culinary tourism. Since 2001, we’ve led the global movement that unites food and travel.


With unmatched expertise and deep industry insight, we help destinations and businesses harness the power of gastronomy to grow sustainably, stand out globally, and create lasting impact.

WHAT WE DO

With nearly 25 years of experience in the food and beverage tourism industry, we have a keen eye for identifying economic opportunities where food, travel, and hospitality intersect.

Let us help you discover new ways to grow and succeed in this dynamic space.

Our knowledge, tools and training help destination marketers to leverage your destination's culinary culture and heritage to create a stronger sense of place, which:


  1. increases arrivals (quantity and quality of visitors);
  2. increases your destination's brand equity;
  3. enhances local pride;
  4. generates export demand for your area's food and beverage products; and
  5. creates a significant and long-lasting economic impact on the area.
