This week, the World Food Travel Association welcomed Nicolás Perez as an ambassador of the Association in Ecuador.

Nicolás is an experienced leader with a demonstrated history of working in the publishing industry.  He is an active participant in the development of Ecuador’s culinary culture through the stewardship of food journalism in El Universo, the country’s largest newspaper. He has been involved in local gastronomy for more than a decade since being an initial member of the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs local chapter. 

Nicolás is the founder of Ecuador FoodTrip, which is in the startup phase, where he oversees every aspect of strategy, product, and marketing.

With WFTA, Nicolás hit the ground running, holding our first Round Table for Food Tourism in Ecuador just yesterday.

Welcome, Nicolás!
